Hulk Hogan’s widow denies Ric Flair’s ‘street drugs’ death claim
Hulk Hogan’s family is denying Ric Flair’s claims regarding his death.
Hogan’s widow Sky told TMZ Sports on Monday that Flair’s allegations that street drugs caused his death were not true.
“That didn’t happen at all,” she said.
Sky said that Hogan was under constant care of Morton Plant Hospital in Florida, and the only changes to Hogan’s medicine came following his neck procedure to make sure whatever he was taking didn’t impact his lungs. TMZ additionally asked other family sources about Flair’s claim who also denied the allegations.
On social media, Ric Flair said he should have never mentioned it and asked to move past the incident so Hogan’s legacy can be focused on instead.
“Okay Sky! I Got Bad Information According To You,” he wrote. “I Should Have Never Mentioned It. I Have Known Hogan Since 1979. Let’s Just Move Past This And Concentrate On His Legacy. Period, End Of Story. Let’s PRESERVE HIS LEGACY Rather Than Dwell On Any Negative Energy. I Repeat- Hulkamania Forever!”
Flair claimed in a recent interview that Hogan’s death was due to “street drugs” he sought out after doctors stopped prescribing him medicine for pain. Flair later posted on social media said he was only repeating what he knew to be a fact through family members.
Hogan died on July 24, with his official cause of death being listed as a heart attack. It has been previously reported that Sky is looking to file a malpractice lawsuit against “at least one of [Hogan’s] doctors and others” over an operation that took place shortly before his passing.
