But questions remain over the WWE legend’s cause of death.
And estranged daughter Brooke has now offered to fund an autopsy.
She wrote on her Instagram stories, “I’m glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions.
“With all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad’s death, I want to personally pay for an autopsy if that’s what it takes to get it done.
“My dad’s dignity and legacy deserves it.”
Paramedics rushed to Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida after a desperate 911 call on July 24.
They performed CPR for 30 minutes before taking him to hospital.
Hogan was later pronounced dead after arriving at the medical facility.
He died from an acute myocardial infarction, which is commonly known as a heart attack, according to records from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center obtained by The U.S. Sun.
An examination of the wrestling star found he had a history of atrial fibrillation, which is a heart rhythm disorder that can lead to an irregular or rapid heart rate.
He also had a history of leukemia CLL, which is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells, the documents state.
Hogan never told the public about his battle with cancer.
He had been dealing with significant health issues for months when he went into cardiac arrest at his $11.5 million mansion in Clearwater.
The former wrestler had a neck surgery in May, and was rushed to the hospital afterwards over complications with his recovery.
In June, he suffered a series of health issues that left him reportedly unable to feel his legs or walk with a cane.
