The mother of two visited the funeral home in Florida, where Hulk's body is currently resting. Brooke was reportedly unconvinced that her father had not been cremated following Sky Daily's statement that he would be cremated.

Brooke also wanted to confirm if an autopsy had indeed been done or if there were plans in place for it to be done. The late WWE champion's daughter has asked lots of questions since her father passed away, despite their estrangement.

She was reportedly curious if opioids or any other harmful substances may have played a massive role in his death, or if any foul play was involved. Per TMZ, Brooke assured the public that her dad still had his famous bandana on at the funeral home.

Brooke added that her late father would have indulged their fun activity by chilling on his foldable lawn chair by the shore, soaking up the sunset, and watching the waves do their thing.

Brooke's estrangement from Hulk remained constant even in death; aside from skipping his funeral, she also made a firm request that his will exclude her name. 

As shared by The Blast, she expressed some fears and concerns about her father's affiliations and how they may put her in harm's way. Brooke noted that Hulk's connection to Scientology made her feel scared for her safety, as she does not want to lose any of her loved ones over properties or money.

The media personality stressed that her father was surrounded by sycophants who were also not truthful with him and played a huge role in his destruction.

"I would have made him an Elvis legacy, or a Marilyn Monroe legacy, or a Selena legacy, and I hope that whoever has his marks does that," Brooke added.
