There isn’t conclusive reasoning forBob Saget’s fatal injury, according to an incident report from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Sagetdied on Jan. 9at age 65. He was found dead in his hotel at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida, one day after performing a stand-up set in Jacksonville. It was later confirmed that hisdeath was “the result of blunt head trauma,” and themanner of his death was an accidentnot tied to any illicit drugs or toxins. The comedian had severe fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes when he died.
Dr. Stephany cited “a fall onto a carpeted floor” as an example of something that could cause such injury. There were no signs of blood on the bedsheets or bedspread, according to the report.
“Dr. Stephany stated that the fracture would have stunned Mr. Saget, and, even if the bleeding occurred slowly, Mr. Saget would have noticed symptoms such as dizziness, and there would have signs that were obvious to those around him, such as issues with confusion, balance, and/or slurred speech,” the report stated.
“In a follow-up phone call with Dr. Stephany on January 11, 2022, I mentioned that Mr. Saget had apparently driven himself back from Jacksonville, Florida (approximately a two-hour drive). Dr. Stephany stated flatly that Mr. Saget could not have made any type of extended drive with the injury he sustained,” the report detailed.
“The countertops, tables, nightstands, and other hard furniture in the room all had sharply defined edges and corners and were thought to be unlikely due to the fact that they would have lacerated the skin,” the report stated. “The counters in the bathroom and the shower stall were ruled out for the same reason. Most of the chairs and couches were thickly upholstered and were too soft to have caused the type and extent of injury Mr. Saget suffered.”

The report added, “As mentioned earlier, most of the suite was carpeted. The headboard of the bed was lightly padded and set slightly out from the wall. These are listed here as possible mechanisms of injury, but nothing was located in the room that allows for a definitive conclusion.”
Dr. Stephany was also unable to “state definitively when Mr. Saget’s head wound occurred, but he believed it was probably within hours of his death, possibly within a day or two, depending on several medical factors.”
But theFull Housealum “would have exhibited significant signs that something was wrong,” according to the medical examiner.

The legal move comes nearly one month after they sued Orange County Sheriff John Mina and the District Nine Medical Examiner’s Office to prevent the release of documents tied to Saget’s passing.
“We are pleased this issue has been resolved, and the healing process can continue to move forward,” Bieber’s statement concluded. “All of the prayers and well wishes continuously extended to the family are beyond appreciated.”
Rizzo recently posted a photo in Saget’s honor onthe two-month anniversary of his passing.
“Two whole months. I’ve experienced that now time means nothing and everything at the same time. You count the weeks, and the months, they’re strange and surreal milestones,” she wrote alongsidea photoof the pair. “How can it be 2 months without you?? But also it feels like yesterday you were here- and it still also feels like you never left? I like to say it’s all a very weird new universe. Learning how to navigate it is quite the journey.”
