Clearwater, Florida Police Department Officially Closes Investigation Into Hulk Hogan’s Death & Finds No Evidence Of Criminal Wrongdoing

As noted before, WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, passed away this past July due to a heart attack. Hogan’s family has been planning to file a lawsuit against at least one of Hogan’s doctors over claims of medical malpractice leading to his death. Hogan’s death is believed to have been caused by issues related to a surgery that resulted in his phrenic nerve being severed.

The California Post reported that Rob Shaw, spokesperson of the Clearwater, Florida Police Department, stated that the investigation into Bollea’s death has been officially closed and no evidence of criminal wrongdoing was found.

In a statement to the outlet, Shaw stated that Bollea’s death was an “attended natural death.”

“We want to thank the family of Mr. Bollea — Sky, Nick and Brooke — and their attorney, Kevin Hayslett, for their cooperation. Their willingness to allow our investigators access to very personal information, at a time when they were grieving and struggling, was extremely helpful. We would not have had the legal justification to obtain much of the information without their cooperation.”
