Brooke Hogan, the daughter of the late Hulk Hogan, wants answers concerning the WWE icon\u2019s death from\u00a0a heart attack\u00a0<\/a>on July 24 at the age of 71.<\/p>\n

In a note posted to her Instagram Story on Thursday, the former \u201cHogan Knows Best\u201d star offered to pay for an autopsy for Hogan due to uncertainty surrounding his death \u2014 and after his wife, Sky Daily, said Wednesday he has yet to be cremated<\/a> as their family has questions about his medical care.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions,\u201d Brooke wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad\u2019s death, I want to personally offer to pay for an autopsy if that\u2019s what it takes to get it done. My dad\u2019s dignity and legacy deserves it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hogan \u2014 whose real name was Terry Bollea \u2014\u00a0was laid to rest in a private funeral<\/a> Tuesday in Clearwater, Fla.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal,\u201d Sky, 46, wrote Wednesday in her Instagram post Wednesday. \u201cHe has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first. Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sky also cautioned that there is false information being spread about Hulk that is \u201ccreated by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening.\u201d <\/p>\n

The WWE Hall of Famer died of a heart attack, according to the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center records obtained by Page Six.<\/p>\n

The records also stated that Hogan\u00a0previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat.<\/p>\n

Since mid-June, Bubba the Love Sponge, Hogan\u2019s former best friend, reported that the iconic wrestler was in the ICU and on his deathbed \u2014 which a rep for Hogan, as well as Sky, denied.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on \u201cTMZ Live\u201d<\/a> Wednesday, Brooke \u2014 who was estranged from her father and hadn\u2019t spoken to him in two years \u2014 threatened legal action against Hulk\u2019s representatives<\/a>, claiming his inner circle \u201cspew lies\u201d about her in the press.<\/p>\n

Brooke explained that she\u2019s had to \u201cconstantly battle false claims\u201d about her relationship with her late father, especially since his health issues made headlines this summer, while she\u2019s trying to live a private life.<\/p>\n

Since the news of Hulk\u2019s death broke, Brooke has specifically addressed false reports citing his inner circle that she refused efforts from her father to reconcile their relationship before he died and that she skipped his\u00a02023 wedding\u00a0to his third wife, Sky, and his funeral because she was feuding with her. The reports had been tied to sources close to Hogan\u2019s inner circle.<\/p>\n

Brooke addressed her absence at his funeral<\/a> and why she chose to honor his life in private with her husband, former NHL defenseman Steve Olesky, and their infant twins.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father hated the morbidity of funerals,\u201d\u00a0she wrote<\/a>\u00a0on Instagram, including snapshots of her and her family at the beach. \u201cHe didn\u2019t want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways \u2013 and I\u2019m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how \u2026 privately \u2026 the way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves \u2026 and the sunset.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hogan was taken by ambulance from his Clearwater home on July 24, with a 911 call citing \u201ccardiac arrest.\u201d He died at the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Brooke told Bubba the Love Sponge that she chose to take herself out of her father\u2019s will because she didn\u2019t want to fight with her family over finances.<\/p>\n
