Medical Examiner Could Not Come Up With 'Definitive Conclusion' Over Bob Saget's Death After Hotel Room Search

Medical examiners were not able to definitively conclude the exact circumstances behind Bob Saget‘s tragic death at the age of 65.

Bob was found deceased in his Florida hotel room on January 9, 2022. It was determined that his cause of death was “the result of blunt head trauma” and it was ruled an accident.

Now, People has obtained the latest incident report from Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany who said, “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.’”

One example that was given in the report is a possible “fall onto a carpeted floor.”

“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 added.

“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 said.

“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 continued. “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.”

“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,” the report revealed.

The report also said it was impossible 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.”

Bob‘s catastrophic injuries were detailed in the initial autopsy report.
