Sky Daily, Hulk Hogan‘s widow, is preparing to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against her late husband’s doctors. She believes a neck surgery performed in May 2025 led to breathing problems that contributed to the WWE legend’s death on July 24, 2025. The 71-year-old wrestling icon died at his Clearwater Beach, Florida home after suffering cardiac arrest.
Daily claims that Hogan’s phrenic nerve was damaged during the neck operation. This nerve controls breathing and helps the diaphragm work properly. According to multiple sources like TMZ, the damage left Hogan struggling with shortness of breath for months before his death. The breathing issues are thought to have weakened him and played a role in his final medical emergency.
