Hulk Hogan's daughter has posed questions surrounding the death of her father as she claims 'police officials' and 'nurses' have told her she needs to 'see body cam footage'.
Paramedics were called to an emergency regarding a cardiac arrest at the wrestling icon's $11.5 million estate in Clearwater, Florida - which resides in the Tampa Bay area, at 9.51am, on July 24.
Tragically, the 71-year-old passed away exactly an hour and 26 minutes later at Morton Plant Hospital, at 11.17am.
Pinellas County Forensic Science Center confirmed Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, died as a result of having experienced an acute myocardial infarction - more commonly known as a heart attack.

It takes place when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked, causing tissue damage.
While it was also revealed that Hogan had a history of leukemia CLL; a type of cancer which affects white blood cells called lymphocytes.
Now, his daughter Brooke Oleksy, nee Bollea before having taken her husband's second name after the pair married in 2022, has taken to Instagram to speculate over the circumstances of her dad's death.
"FACT: I've 100% gotten legit cals from professionals- from police officials to nurses that were supposedly with my dad on the day of his death telling ME I need to see body cam footage and I need to get a hold of the 911 tapes because they supposedly contain information that could potentially shed enough light to change the narrative we/l/everyone's been hearing," her statement read.
It's important to note the timings in which first responders arrived on the scene. Medical teams arrived just five minutes after the call, at 9.56am, and then at 10.23am police arrived.
The WWE hall of famer was then transported to hospital at 10.32am before being pronounced dead at 11.17am.
Oleksy, who welcomed twins in January, went on: "Those same professionals feel so passionately about what they witnessed, they have continued to contact me and push me to find specific answers to this very day. They are quite literally putting their careers at risk because they feel so compelled to do the right thing.
"The short of it is- it's all up to my dad's wife and I have zero control. I can not do anything, my hands are tied, and I have no say in anything regarding my dad- even as his daughter. Those are the rules as I've been told.
"I do not have any information on if or when he is being cremated. Could have been right after he died, could be tomorrow. I do not know. I have been told by my brother there will be an autopsy. I do not know who will be performing the autopsy. Any information I receive from an autopsy- if one happens-whether I believe it or not, I will be keeping private out of respect for my father."
Her statement continued: "I do not have answers as to if the officials who have contacted me about what they witnessed relayed this information to the medical examiner's office. And if they did, I do not know why it wasn't taken into consideration. All body cam footage and 911 dispatch calls are not available via the freedom of information act. It's all on lockdown. I do not know why.
"Do I question his general physician signing off on his death certificate, given his background which is available for anyone to see via a simple Google search? You can answer that one for yourself.
"I have to trust that my brother is doing his best to get answers. At the end of the day, answers would be great, but none of it brings my dad back. And my hands are tied."
