Brooke Hogan Says She Does Not Suspect Foul Play in Dad Hulk's Death

Brooke Hogan says there was no foul play in her father Hulk's death ... saying she can rest easier since she's now seen the body.

We caught up with the reality star on "TMZ Live" Wednesday ... and, she says she wants to keep it real with fans of the late wrestler ... telling them she's satisfied everything is "on the up and up."

She says she never expected murder or anything like that, but she wanted to see the evidence for herself to put her mind at ease.

Brooke says she worried Hulk would look totally different five weeks after his death ... but, she says he was already embalmed, and she could almost imagine him jumping back into the ring today.

As you know ... Brooke earlier posted on Instagram she wasn't so sure about what she'd heard about Hulk's death, and claimed authorities knew a lot more than they were letting on.

She finally got to see Hulk recently ... he was wearing a black suit and a matching black bandana ... with his famous mustache still sitting on his lip.

We also talked to Brooke about her dad's phrenic nerve ... which, according to a police report, an occupational therapist told cops a surgeon severed during a recent operation.

Brook confirmed her dad has now had an autopsy. She saw his chest, presumably stitched up after the procedure. However, she admits she hasn't seen the results yet ... so, it seems likely Hulk's widow, Sky Daily, knows the status of the nerve since she has the autopsy results.

Speaking of Sky, Brooke says hearing her 911 call was more difficult than seeing Hulk's body ... watch the clip all the way through to hear why.
