There’s more news out on the Bob Saget case, with information about his health on the night of his death based on interviews with witnesses, body cam video of the police responding that night, and pictures of the condition of his room at the time of his death. Although a judge had denied the release of certain photos, they were released.
Fox News
Cpl. Brian Meadows after Meadows’ conversations with Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Stephany. According to Meadows, Stephany could “not state definitively” when 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.”
Stephany had relayed to Meadows that Saget “would have exhibited significant signs that something was wrong.” So in order to “establish a possible time frame,” Meadows “conducted a series of interviews with people who had been in contact” with Saget “in the days immediately preceding his death.”
Saget was last seen performing at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Florida on the night of his suicide. According to a show runner, Rosalie Cocci, “He said he had long term Covid, and it was taking his body a long time to get over it.”
It was his hearing that had gone out that night. He wanted the soundmen to raise everything.
‘And [he said] that he had been sick the night before – his hearing was off, and he had a sore throat. He was happy he had lozenges for the stage.’
Saget, who had reportedly been well for a couple of weeks before his death, was positive for Covid at his postmortem.
Cocci claimed that Cocci was okay by that point. “He wasn’t sweating, he didn’t miss a beat, nothing slurred….He came out very energetic.”
Additional staff members are also present recounted his hearing issues.
He didn’t have food at the show, but he requested Diet Coke, Coke, and Red Bull, according to Richard Stanford, whose job was to “arrange hospitality, equipment, labor for setup/tear down” and anything else required for the show.
“I don’t know if he stumbled over words,” he responded when asked if Saget had trouble with speaking. “The train of thought just changed a couple times. We’d be talking about a story and then, all of a sudden, he’d bring up this part, and I don’t know personally how those would tie together. Just weird, stepping on himself a little bit.”
But Stanford said he didn’t notice any physical problems. Everybody described his happiness.
His family told TMZ that he had only come down with the virus a couple of weeks before, and hadn’t complained of hearing issues.
Saget arrived at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, about a two hour drive from Ponte Vedra, and met Orlando Nunez. Nunez was his valet. Nunez snapped with Saget in a selfie, his last photo taken. Nunez talked with him for about 10 minutes, and said he seemed fine — just anxious to get home to his family because they were sick.
The police released photos of the room, but still haven’t made a final determination as to what he could have hit his head on — because nothing quite fits the injuries, although they speculated about the headboard, which was padded or the rug-covered floor, as we noted before.

It is difficult to explain the severe head trauma that he suffered, which required a great deal of force as well as a falling on the floor.

He was still suffering from hearing loss and his condition was not yet known. Hearing loss isn’t a common symptom of COVID, although it is a rare possibility. Hearing loss may indicate another condition that can affect things such as balance.
