Only Bob Saget's Family Will Ever Know The True Details Surrounding His Death
The millions of fans of Bob Saget may never fully know exactly what happened to the much-loved actor when it comes to his tragic, sudden death, and what he did in his final moments.
Of course, we know the "Full House" star died on January 9 aged 65 in Orlando, Florida, while in the Sunshine State on tour. A few more details followed in February about how he died, with an autopsy report claiming that Saget had several injuries to his body, including fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes (via People). It was also noted that Saget tested positive for COVID-19.
Shortly after his autopsy report was released, police offered a theory on what potentially happened to the star as "blunt head trauma" was listed as his official cause of death. They speculated to People that Saget may have become unconscious in his hotel bathroom while in his room alone, potentially falling to the floor and injuring his head in the process, then hitting it on the ground. He seemingly went back to bed after regaining consciousness, not knowing the extent of his injuries, which is where he was later discovered dead by hotel staff.
A deputy at the Orange County Sheriff's office admitted "there are still a lot of unanswered questions" related to the star's tragic passing, but it's unlikely fans will ever get any answers to those unanswered questions due to a plea from the late star's nearest and dearest.
The Saget family's death records injunction
Bob Saget's family have made it very clear they do not want the details of his death to be made public. So much so, that they have received a permanent injunction that stops records regarding his death being released to the public, according to People.
Brian Bieber, the family's attorney, confirmed the news, saying in a statement issued on March 13, "The entire Saget family is grateful that the judge granted their request for an injunction to preserve Bob's dignity, as well as their privacy rights, especially after suffering this unexpected and tragic loss. We are pleased this issue has been resolved, and the healing process can continue to move forward. All of the prayers and well wishes continuously extended to the family are beyond appreciated."
In February, the Saget family obtained a temporary injunction after asking records relating to Saget's death not be released to anyone but his wife, Kelly Rizzo, and his three daughters. It was reported that the files contained "graphic" details about the actor's last few moments and cause of death, according to Metro, which would have caused his family "severe mental pain, anguish, and emotional distress" if they were released to the public.
Saget's family released a statement after his cause of death was confirmed, saying (via The Hollywood Reporter), "Now that we have the final conclusions from the authorities' investigation, we felt it only proper that the fans hear those conclusions directly from us."
