A new report says injuries around Bob Saget's eye sockets and brain were possibly caused by him hitting 'something hard, covered by something soft.'
ORLANDO -- Fractures around Bob Saget's eye sockets and bleeding around his brain were possibly caused by the comedian hitting"something hard, covered by something soft," such as a carpeted floor, according to a report released Tuesday that provides more details of the TV's star's death.
The medical examiner concluded after the autopsy in January that Saget died from an accidental blow to the head, likely from a backwards fall. Investigators called to the luxury hotel suite found no evidence of struggle, foul play or signs that anyone else had been in Saget's suite during his stay. A toxicology analysis didn't show any illicit drugs or toxins in Saget's body.
An initial examination of Saget's body in the hotel suite showed that he had slight swelling and small bruises in the corner of his left eye."There were no other indications of any type of trauma or injury," the report states. A hotel maintenance worker had to be called to open the door to Saget's suite since it had been latched from inside. Even though the door between Saget's suite and the adjacent room was found to be unlocked, records on the electronic locks at the hotel showed that no one had been in the abutting room since Jan. 7, two days before Saget's body was discovered, the report says.
