Hulk Hogan’s estranged daughter, Brooke, has become ‘overwhelmed and emotionally drained’ following the WWE icon’s death, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Last month, the wrestling legend experienced a cardiac arrest and died at 71, yet years had passed since Hogan had last communicated with Brooke, who is now 37.

In the immediate aftermath of his passing, Brooke stayed quiet. Later, she turned to social media, requesting an autopsy as she began to process the shocking news.

Instead of joining family and friends at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church for his funeral, she recently organized her own memorial for the WWE icon.

Despite their estrangement, the death has taken a huge toll on the 37-year-old – with pictures this week emerging of an emotional Brooke wiping away tears walking through Orlando. 

Now, a source close to the family has shed light on her situation and told the Daily Mail: ‘Brooke is overwhelmed right now with everything.

‘She has been receiving a lot more attention than the recent past, her father just died, so things are a bit off the rails right now. 

‘She hasn’t been able to really digest it all. Also, we are days removed from what would have been her father’s 72nd birthday. 

‘She is a very emotional person anyways, but all these things combined have made her have to dig deep in her feelings. She has been crying privately and publicly and it just hits her at different times.’

In the days before his passing, WWE superstar Hogan was able to reconcile with his estranged daughter over a ‘tearful conversation’.

However, Brooke revealed she had felt her father starting to pull away – saying he no longer wanted support or advice from her, despite his health issues. 

The source continued: ‘Her husband and her kids have been such a support system. For all that she has lost, she has realized all that she has and all that she has had.

‘She was so close to her father and all the feelings that come from that, especially since they were estranged for a bit before his death has put everything into perspective.

‘Nobody is ready for when this happens, but dealing with it in the public eye with arguable one of the most popular people on earth is an interesting thing to go through. This isn’t an act in any way, she is emotionally drained.’

Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died on July 24 from a cardiac arrest, according to a Florida medical examiner’s office.

Just weeks after her father died of a heart attack at age 71, the TV personality, 37, looked caught in grief as tears rolled down her face during a walk with her husband Steven Oleksy

The 71-year-old previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the report from the District Six Medical Examiner also said. 

However, despite his previous health issues, Hogan’s daughter Brooke took to social media in the days that followed to seemingly accuse the authorities of foul play.

She later backtracked from those claims via a social media post but insisted she still wanted ‘answers’ over her father’s death. 

Meanwhile, Hogan’s son-in-law and Brooke’s husband, ex-NHL player Steven Oleksy, claimed the WWE icon had ‘no interest’ in meeting Brooke’s twins prior to his death.

According to People, Oleksy said: ‘I sent text messages once again to kind of gauge where he was at, but there was no interest.’ 

Reports back in April claimed that Oleksy had made several failed attempts to ‘foster peace’ with the wrestling legend. 

Oleksy continued: ‘She [Brooke] was there for every surgery leading up to the last two years. She would fly down on her own dime, take care of her dad, and it just made a lot of sense.

‘No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife,’ he said.
