Hulk Hogan's Family Still Considering Malpractice Lawsuit After Wrestler's Death

The family of late WWE icon Hulk Hogan is considering filing a medical malpractice lawsuit after his July death.

Hulk's wife, Sky Daily, revealed in August that she was looking into a lawsuit in connection to a neck surgeon the wrestler underwent back in May.

“We are investigating for possible malpractice. If you have shortness of breath for a long time, that makes you very sick,” she told the Daily Mail in August, explaining that Hogan’s phrenic nerve was “compromised” during the surgery.

Earlier this week, however, Daily, along with Hulk's son, Nick Bollea, filed court documents requesting a 90-day extension on the statue of limitations, according to Fox 13 News.

The outlet reported, "The petition filed on Tuesday mentions doctors and health care providers at Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, as well as medical professionals at Tampa General Hospital."

Hulk died at his home in Clearwater, Florida, on July 24.

According to his widow, Hulk was "short of breath in the months up to his heart stopping."

"It’s not something that’s an alarming (sudden) cause of death. It’s something that wears on you, makes you weak," she told Daily Mail. "Everything about his neck surgery has been documented from when he was alive...I know the truth will come out, so I’m sitting back here politely being, like, everything’s being well documented. I know it’s fine."

Hulk was 71 at the time of his death.
