Honestly, I find this very hard to believe. Regardless, Saget appeared to have thought nothing of it and went to sleep. There are still a lot of unknowns here and although you can’t believe everything you read when it comes to the death of a celebrity, many reports are saying that Saget’s head trauma was very severe.įor example, one report says that it was like he had been hit with a baseball bat or had fallen 20 to 30 feet. Additional findings showed that Saget had an enlarged heart (with 95% blocked on one side) as well as medications in his system, including Clonazepam/Klonopin (which can be used to treat seizures, panic disorders and anxiety) and Trazodone (an antidepressant). The autopsy revealed that he also had COVID-19. The Medical Examiner reports that Saget appeared to fall backwards and hit the “posterior aspect of his head.” The actor and comedian performed an “hours-long” standup (according to several reports) the night before his death. Saget was found unresponsive in a hotel room. The CNN report discusses the results of Saget’s autopsy and comments from the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office. Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injury, and motor vehicle-related incidents are the second leading cause,” reports the NIH. “ Traumatic Brain Injury is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, with an annual occurrence of more than 1.5 million. It made me realize we all might want to be more careful.Īccording to a report from CNN, 65-year-old Saget died of “blunt head trauma.” The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines blunt head trauma as mild, moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). But the recent passing of actor, comedian and one of America’s favorite television dads, Bob Saget, got my attention. I’ve bumped my head a number of times and never really thought much about it.
