Autopsy on Hulk Hogan done, wife confirms phrenic nerve damaged during surgery

An autopsy on Hulk Hogan has been done according to his widow, Sky, who confirmed the report to TMZ.

According to TMZ, Hulk’s therapist told officers who responded to the cardiac arrest call that he was the victim of medical malpractice and the surgeon who performed one of the surgeries severed his phrenic nerve.

The phrenic nerve stimulates the diaphragm, which controls breathing, and Hogan died after he simply stopped breathing. TMZ says that he did not have a “chest-clenching episode” before he passed away even though his death was ruled as a heart attack.

The conversations were all recorded on the police body cams, confirming what Bubba “The Love Sponge” said that Brooke was contacted by those who responded to the call to sound the alarm that her father did not die of natural causes.

Sky told TMZ that it’s true that his phrenic nerve was hit, something that it was never acknowledged before. Hogan’s body has not been cremated pending further investigation.
