The Saget family just won a permanent injunction in court blocking authorities from releasing any photos, video, or the autopsy report of Bob Saget following his tragic death. 65-year-old Bob Saget passed away suddenly after suffering a fracture to his skull in his hotel room. The family asked the courts to not further traumatize them with details or images of Saget being released.
A report released today claim fractures around Bob Saget's eye sockets and bleeding around his brain were possibly caused by the Saget hitting "something hard, covered by something soft," like carpeted floor.
In the report released by the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Orlando, FL, a detective noted that the Medical Examiner said the fractures "would have stunned Mr. Saget," and that he would have experienced dizziness. If Saget were with people at the time of the accident, they may have noticed "confusion, balance, and/or slurred speech," the report states. The report does not pinpoint a location in the hotel room for Saget's fall.
In January, the medical examiner concluded based on the autopsy that Saget died from an accidental blow to the head, likely from a backwards fall. Investigators found no evidence of struggle, foul play or signs that anyone else had been in Saget's suite during his stay. A toxicology analysis didn't show any illicit drugs or toxins in Saget's body.
This was truly an accident and heartbreaking for the Saget family. Sending them our thoughts and peace during this difficult time.
