Bob Saget dead at 65 -- hours after performing live

[no nonsense]

Several people said things weren't possible.

Yes, it seems you said two blows weren’t possible. Some disagree.

That isn't what I was referring to nor something I said.

A couple of years ago, a woman called Kelly Glover drowned in the lake that surrounded the Florida hotel she was staying at. Even though Florida doesn't make autopsy results available to the general public you can request a copy. One of the posters on the Kelly Glover thread made the request and received the autopsy report. She didn't publicize it on the thread but did provide it to those interested enough to view it through PMs. It appears the Saget family may have effectively preempted that by filing the lawsuit to block any release.

Yes @branmuffin -- it's true. You probably recall the coroner deferred to the family not to make the AR public (release to news media) since the investigation was closed as an accidental drowning while sleep walking (no foul play). We still wondered about whether foul play could have been involved -- enough to the point we obtained the AR and Toxicology.

In the interviews in the days before Bob Saget died, does anyone else hear him refer to himself in past tense?
*** it was the CBS VIDEO. I watched them all again...

I am sure I heard it.
I can't listen again right now, maybe in a few days.
He also sounded stuffy in his head and I did notice a little slurring.
* I am in no way blaming this on drugs or alcohol!
In one interview he admits it was like 5am. I'm definitely not top notch the first hour or 2 I'm up at 54 years old!
Anyway, if anyone else catches it, where he refers to himself in past tense.(he did stop himself from completing his comment.)
It was around the time they were talking about the 99 yr old Bob Saget and the JOKE about Betty White and the mile high club.
I'm not sure which video it was. These were the three I watched.
All MOO!

Ok he said, at 6:05 ish, "My sister should not be dead."

"that's one of the things that's kept me doing this"
"That will keep me doing this"
I felt pain in him here.
He died on her birthday. After raising 26 million dollars for scleoderma research.
My heart breaks for his sweet soul!!!
In interview filmed before he died, Bob Saget got emotional about a cause dear to him
Sorry guys! I lost my husband Jan 4 2021.
That slurring... sadly is very familiar to me. So I may be hearing something that isn't there?
Anyway, I found where I thought he was speaking of himself in past tense.
I just have a sinking feeling about the entire scenario. I can't make it add up in my head, but my gut feels this deeply.
I truly believe "we" lost a giid man who was broken. I honestly do not think foul play was involved and his memory is being protected.
Thanks for the memories Bob! Gngr~snap is saddened about your passing. Like Robin Williams, you were one of the greats!
Moo

I'm sorry about your husband. I wonder if BS's slurring here could be the result of early morning and getting over COVID. I had a friend who died last year and in the days/weeks before his death, he did all sorts of things that didn't make sense, but in retrospect seemed like he was tying up loose ends. It was very strange.

I see what you’re getting at, and it does make sense. The fact that he died mysteriously on his sister’s birthday could be telling. Some of his recent interviews could be interpreted as very telling. I don’t think drugs or alcohol seem to be involved in his death, and the ME has said that specifically. No alcohol found or in his system, and only therapeutic amounts of two prescriptions. But the mysterious nature of his death and by family makes me think they’re protecting his legacy for sure. What they’re hiding could be so many things.

So sorry about your husband.

It's just something I dealt with with my husband No medical professionals had an answer. My lh was clearly slurring for no reason
It was frightening and it breaks my heart to hear Bob talking like this.
I asked one doctor did he swallow cotton balls? Because this is not normal!!!
No answer....
At any rate, I'm feeling a little better. I now do not think another individual was involved in Saget's death

OT I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I'm sure not getting any answers has made it more difficult for you.

The Haunting Remark Bob Saget Made on His Podcast About His Own Death

This article covers what was certainly just a horrible coincidence, but worth noting nonetheless.

In the [October 2021 broadcast of "Bob Saget's Here for You] podcast, [Bob Saget and his wife] were joking about favorite movies.

After [his wife] explained her favorite movies included "The Godfather," "Scarface," "Casino" and "Goodfellas," Saget, known for his dark humor, replied, "So, I don't have long to live if these are your favorites. I'm going to be found dead in bed."

"You better watch out," his wife jokingly retorted.

 

[AC's Grandma]

Dr. Charles Smith was a coroner at Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto. He performed numerous autopsies of children where he claimed manner of death was criminal in nature. His findings resulted in wrongful convictions of parents. Years later many of his results were reviewed and overturned freeing parents who had spent time in prison for murder. He automatically assumed in many cases that the parents had inflicted injuries on the children without any real evidence.

Thanks, this sounds like an interesting case I'm going to research.

Just a little anecdote, though I’m much younger than him. I got covid after Christmas. My balance was off for a few weeks, though I was otherwise normal. No dizziness, vision issues, or weakness - just things like missed steps, walking into corners, and stumbling. Very odd. A few of our neighbors in 50s-70s reported similar balance issues.

That's interesting, especially since Bob Saget had covid at the time apparently. Either way, I do think this accident took place in the bathroom of the hotel. I just can't see what LE says, that he hit his head on the headboard's strip of wood along top of padding. I don't think there would be enough force from a getting into bed position to cause the type of injury that was caused! Even if he for some reason was standing on the bed and fell back.

 

[agilbe]

Here's a thought I've been having. Ramped up from having a good show. He throws himself on the bed (face up) misjudges and smacks his head on the night stand. When the news first broke, I remember there were pictures of the/a room. The night stands were made of some seriously thick wood. They actually caught my attention. JMO

I, 36 year old female, had covid the first week of January 2022. I am STILL suffering with cough, chest pain, ear ringing, my smell is messed up and I just feel like I’m in a fog if I’m tired. I also get tired way too easily. I had double pneumonia and my lung collapsed. My right lung is STILL partially collapsed.
Although his autopsy made him sound like he was in amazing health (other than his blocked heart valve) covid has lingering effects in some of us.

People who have had Covid can still test positive on a PCR test (am guessing they swabbed his nose?) for weeks after they are no longer contagious or possibly symptomatic.

Yep, some people keep testing positive for months.

Just My Random Thoughts and Kudos

Kudos to Happyday and Countem for a new perspective based on Bob Saget's own words. Very haunting, Countem that he would say he would be found dead in bed and that he died on his much loved sister's birthday, who is deceased.

Happyday, I did hear the slurring of his words in the morning podcast that you shared. If it was at night I would have thought he was a little drunk. The impression I had since it was morning was that he was somewhat heavily medicated. I don't know his dosage for Klonopin, but if it was high that may explain it. Klonopin is a Benzodiazepine like the better known Valium. Someone who was addicted to Valium, I noticed talked this way, as if they were slurring and drunk.

Sadly, he said at the beginning of this same podcast that he was always lonely in the morning. All this makes me suspect that he may have been depressed. It may be,though, that since Klonopin treats panic attacks that he only took the Klonopin to stay relaxed at his comedy show. He was known as a raunchy comedian, but I read he was trying a cleaner act.

In spite of the possibility of depression, if it had been a suicide I think the autopsy would have stated so. I still think there's the chance of unseemly behavior which the family does not want disclosed.

From what I've pieced together I think the full autopsy report and the Sheriff's investigative report will be later produced, but any photographs, audio recordings or videos made stemming from those two reports will not be produced.

I've looked a little and not found an answer. Does the Ritz Carlton have any rooms with adjustable beds? Like sleep number/select comfort? We keep hearing headboard... and accident...
That would be a horrific way to go, but once you press the button for the mattress to go flat, if your head was between the mattress and the headboard, I imagine the bed would keep going.
I keep my head elevated due to GERD.
I'm NOT gonna try it with mine,, but I don't think there's any safety mechanism like say a garage door opener has, even in the new ones.
I got my bed in 2016 and there's definitely not a safety on it.
Just thinking...
It seems like the Ritz-Carlton has a company that makes their beds.

The real issue isn't whether BS could have died from a fall. That happens frequently, especially if you're over 60. The issue is that the *severity* of the injury is being compared to injuries which produce far less damage; the comparison simply is not valid. Example:

...CNN colloquy between Don Lemon and Dr. Sanjay Gupta. “We wondered if anyone watching the segment,” he wrote (the author of the article) “had failed to wonder whether Saget had perhaps been the victim of a violent assault.”

Well, not me, particularly. But then I’d gotten my bell rung in a rugby match many years ago. Aroused with smelling salts, I finished the game on my feet, but woke up in a hospital a week later diagnosed with a concussion but no memory of how I’d gotten there. I’d passed out over breakfast. An ambulance took me to the emergency room. Brain injuries can be tricky.

If he'd received the blow BS suffered, he would not be finishing anything..he'd be on a stretcher with his friends gathered around him in shock.
