We’ve been bringing you information about the investigation into comedian/actor Bob Saget’s death. As we previously mentioned, part of this case’s problem is trying to determine how Saget sustained the head injuries they discovered in his autopsy. Initial speculations by authorities suggested that perhaps he had hit his head on the headboard.
Now, there’s new information out in a report on the investigation from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials have released a report Tuesday stating that the comedian died from a skull fracture. The autopsy report stated that there was evidence that he had suffered bleeding.
“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.

Okay, that explains the fracture at the base of the skull, but then what’s the explanation for the fractured orbits? Even if you fall and land on your back, it is still necessary to have the force that caused those fractures. That means you need something to compensate for it. I think that’s the problem, and they still can’t quite explain it.
They ruled out nightstands and countertops as well as tables, because all of them had defined edges, which were not compatible with the injuries. However, they did notice that carpet was used throughout the room.
“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 states.
Let’s just say that they don’t know the answer. They’re not really sure what the answer is. They found him in his bed. They didn’t find any blood or anything that appeared to be amiss which was why they believed he died of natural causes. He wasn’t drunk, and there were no illicit substances involved.
The valet took a photo of them together after Bob Saget returned from his show. He had to take the picture shortly after he left his car to go to his bedroom for the night. The picture shows him looking fine.

But the report also revealed something else that hasn’t come out before.
Another new detail shared in OCSC’s final report is that a door inside of Saget’s room leading to the adjoining Room 961 was unlocked when his body was discovered.
According to police, the room was empty and hadn’t been cleaned at that time. However, police say there was “no sign” anyone had occupied the room from between the time Saget returned to the hotel in the early hours of Jan. 9 and police finding him dead later that morning.
That is new, and why hasn’t it come out before?
At the request of their family, the judge in this matter has ordered that some photographs, videos and other records not released by the local authorities be kept secret. They said they don’t want things like autopsy photos out there.
