Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24th, with the official cause of death recorded as acute myocardial infarction, or a heart attack. However, Bubba The Love Sponge raised questions about the unusual nature of Hogan’s death, noting that such circumstances should be more thoroughly scrutinized.
In a discussion on his YouTube channel, Bubba expressed concern over the fact that Hogan, one of wrestling’s most iconic figures, apparently did not undergo an autopsy or toxicology screening. He claimed that only Hogan’s private physician, Dr. Gerald Joseph Fitzgerald Jr., had investigated the case, while local medical examiners had not reviewed the body.
Bubba highlighted that Hogan’s official death certificate indicated “Not applicable” under the medical examiner’s case number. This absence suggested the county medical examiner’s office was not involved. He emphasized that the certificate named Dr. Fitzgerald as the certifying doctor, with no participation from any county medical authority.
He stressed that his information came from a credible reporter in the area, who confirmed that Dr. Fitzgerald was the sole individual responsible for the determination of Hogan’s death. Bubba also underscored the significance of the death certificate as an official Florida state document verifying the cause of death.
Bubba expressed skepticism over the lack of an autopsy, especially given Hogan’s status as a wealthy, newly married, and rehabilitated individual worth $50 million. He argued that in such cases, autopsies are usually routine, and the absence of toxicology reports or a medical examiner’s case number was suspicious.
This skepticism follows earlier reports about Hogan’s declining health after a second neck surgery. Without thorough post-mortem examinations, fans may never know the full details behind Hogan’s passing.
