Bob Saget’s fractures possibly caused by fall on carpeted floor but no 'definitive conclusion' on fatal injury
foxnews.comNew information has been released regarding the injuries Bob Saget sustained before his death in January. According to an incident report released on Tuesday by Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany, M.D., the late comedian was found to have a fracture near the base of his skull that the autopsy report said was consistent with evidence suggesting he experienced bleeding around the brain. "He explained that the amount of force necessary to cause the fracture, coupled with the fact that the skin on the back of the head was still intact, led him to believe that the injury was most likely caused by ‘something hard, covered by something soft,’ and he gave, as an example, a fall onto a carpeted floor," Fox 35 in Orlando reported of the report on Tuesday.
The incident report released by the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Orlando said Stephany noted that the fractures "would have stunned Mr.
Saget," and that he would have experienced dizziness, per a detective. It further detailed that if Saget had been in the company of others, those near him would have likely noticed "confusion, balance and/or slurred speech." The medical examiner concluded after the autopsy in January that Saget died from an accidental blow to the head, likely from a backwards fall.
Investigators called to the luxury hotel suite found no evidence of struggle, foul play or signs that anyone else had been in Saget’s suite during his stay.
