Bob Saget died after sustaining what appeared to be significant head trauma, according to a recently released autopsy report.
The 65-year-old star was found unresponsive in his hotel bed in Orlando, Florida, on January 9. Last week, Saget's family announced that he had died after he "accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep."
However, an autopsy report by Dr. Joshua Stephany, the chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola counties in Florida, suggests the head injury was far more serious than one that could have been shrugged off.
...
Dr. Gavin Britz, the chair in neurosurgery at Houston Methodist Hospital, said: "This is significant trauma. This is something I find with someone with a baseball bat to the head, or who has fallen from 20 or 30 feet."
Pointing out that the autopsy described fractures to thick parts of the skull, as well as to bones in the roof of the eye socket, Dr. Britz added: "If you fracture your orbit, you have significant pain."
Dr. Stephany, who ruled that Saget's death was accidental, determined that the injuries were likely sustained through a fall, although the report found no injuries on other parts of his body, which would have been expected if he had fallen from a great height.
...
The autopsy report also found that Saget had an enlarged heart, though there was no suggestion that this had contributed to his death.
A PCR test detected signs of COVID-19. The star said in early January that he had contracted the virus, but didn't specify when. A PCR test can detect COVID weeks after someone has recovered.

I wonder why people are so fascinated with this guys death. If his wife and kids know…that’s all that matters.
What’s really bizarre: Withholding the report is in direct violation of FL state law.
Now who’s got the juice to get that done...
We’re fascinated because FL officials are violating state law to keep the report secret.
Why do that for a whoops.
Chronic hypertension is a very large reason for enlarged heart also. If blood flowing out of left or right ventricle is obstructed the heart may enlarge to pump the blood on through.
I wonder why people are so fascinated with this guys death.
They really aren’t. But, the MSM runs crappola stories like this incessantly to ensure viewers cannot think about many more very important things...like election fraud, espionage, and government overreach.
Does De Niro have an alibi?
Hmm, a regular locked room mystery, eh?
Maybe Bob was just an Agatha Christie fan and arranged a very convoluted method of suicide to stump fellow mystery buffs?
I never heard of this guy, but why is this anybody’s business?
Yeah. Did they ever find out what really happened to Crane and who did it?
I bet they do...
If one of the did it
If he hit his head on the headboard with that much force to inflict severe head trauma, there would be blood, hair, or scalp left on the headboard.
Did they find samples ?
The question is, is this security system good enough to determine when the door was opened from the inside, or if it never closed all the way once opened? Or does it just go off of the card reader being used to gain access to the room? There is a very significant difference.
“to ensure viewers cannot think about many more very important things...like election fraud, espionage, and government overreach.”
Well, there is also the issue of supply & demand. Most people do not WANT to think about those depressing topics all the time. So they demand to be supplied with something else to distract them, and the media is happy to supply.
this doesn’t negate the idea that someone could have entered his room earlier in the day and laid in wait.
As I’ve said before, the phrase “basal fracture” Brought out the retired cop in me.
This smells wrong.

I wonder if possibility of refusal payoff of insurance has anything to do with the family’s wish that details remain suppressed.
Smoking or long term cocaine use.

If one of THEM did it
