(NewsNation) — Brooke Hogan, daughter of recently deceased WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan, did not attend her father’s funeral Tuesday.
Hulk Hogan was estranged from his daughter for years prior to his death. Brooke Hogan said that while there was no “big fight,” their estrangement was due to “a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know or understand.”
Instead of attending the funeral, Brooke celebrated her father’s life with her husband and newborn twins at the beach.

In an Instagram post the day of the funeral, she commented, “My father hated the morbidity of funerals.”
Further down, she wrote, “I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how … privately… the way that made me feel the closest to him.”
According to a medical examiner’s report, Hulk Hogan died July 24. An acute myocardial infarction (better known as a heart attack) caused his death, a consequence of atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a kind of slow-moving cancer.
Brooke Hogan, however, carries doubts about her father’s cause of death. According to E! Magazine, she said, “They’re saying, ‘Oh, he had leukemia.’ And I saw his blood work every time. One doctor, I quote, said his blood is like a 25-year-old’s.”
Later in the interview, she said that “we don’t have cancer that runs in our family. It just seems weird.”
Hulk Hogan is survived by his wife, Sky Daily, daughter Brooke Hogan, son Nick Hogan and ex-wife Linda Claridge.
