Brooke Hogan said she isn’t convinced her father Hulk battled leukemia prior to his death at age 71 — after claiming he didn’t want to marry his wife, Sky Daily.
“Being through all the surgeries, you have to do a blood panel before any major surgery,” she said after making an impromptu call to the “Bubba The Love Sponge” radio show on Tuesday. “How did nobody catch a high white blood count? That’s what bothers me the most.”
Brooke added, “We don’t have cancer that runs in our family. It seems weird.”
The actress, 37, confessed that she was “puzzled” by claims the legendary wrestler “had leukemia” prior to his death on July 24, because she “saw his blood work every time [he had surgery].’”
Brooke noted that with the exception of a heart surgery earlier this year, she’d been present for all of them.
“One doctor, I quote, said, ‘His blood is like a 25-year-old,’” the reality star claimed. “I mean, he took the most care of his body. He was going to an anti-aging specialist.”
The actress divulged she had hoped to see her father — who was laid to rest on Aug. 5 — “making it to 85 or something around there.”
“You know, his heart was compromised,” she said, explaining that she didn’t think the final surgery should have been “the thing that took him out.”
Brooke later shared that she felt it was “weird that no autopsy was performed, because yes, you can have a heart attack; but what was the reason for the heart attack is the question.” She added, “To me the no autopsy and the leukemia out of nowhere hits me as BS.”
According to TMZ, police say there’s no indication of anything suspicious about the icon’s death.
Hulk — whose cause of death was ultimately determined to be cute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack — had undergone heart surgery earlier this summer, according to Us Weekly.
“Hulk had pretty serious heart surgery a few weeks ago and was doing well afterward. It wasn’t a near-death thing,” a source told the outlet in June, noting that he was “recovering” and at the time was “not on death’s door.”
According to documents obtained by Page Six, the District Six Medical Examiner’s record stated that at the time of his death, the WWE champ also had a history of leukemia CLL — a cancer that affects lymphocytes, a type of white blood cells that affect the immune system.
Brooke and her father had been estranged for the two years leading up to his death — but that didn’t weaken their bond, she said in a statement several days after his death.
“My dad’s blood runs through my veins,” she wrote in part in a statement shared via Instagram.
“His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments. We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes.”
Brooke added that she is “grateful” that she knew “the real version of him.”
“Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens. We shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together.”
