Authorities in Florida have released their final incident report on the mysterious death of beloved actor, Bob Saget, two months after he died in a hotel room. The autopsy determined Saget’s death was an accident caused by blunt head trauma, with the medical examiner saying the injury was most likely caused by “something hard, covered by something soft.” A valet attendant who had taken a photo with Saget hours before his death told investigators the actor appeared to be fine. NBC’s Joe Fryer reports.

It’s the just-released police bodycam footage of the moment that officers knocked on Bob Saget’s door at room 962 in the Ritz Carlton in Orlando. We know what they found inside — the legendary comedian dead in his bed. Crime scene photos have also been released, showing the room as police found it that morning. In the bathroom, towels lie on the floor, which may indicate that he had a shower before he went to bed. The pillow on the bed shows an indentation from his head, but no blood.

Candace Cameron Bure gets emotional talking about Bob Saget. The 45-year-actress appeared on the ‘Today’ show Thursday morning, where she revealed her final text messages with her ‘Full House’ on-screen dad. Bure, who played Saget’s eldest TV daughter, D.J. Tanner, shares she had a little ‘tiff’ two weeks before his death and explains how they resolved it. The ‘Fuller House’ star also opens about the loss she feels without the late comedian in her life.

As details emerge about his death, several prominent doctors say Bob Saget’s catastrophic, multiple head injuries could not have been caused by a simple fall, as authorities said. Now, there are calls for the investigation into the comedian’s shocking death to be reopened. Dr. Daniel Barrow, chairman of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine, told Inside Edition he saw nothing in the hotel room that could have caused Saget’s massive head injuries.

The news that Bob Saget died from a “massive head injury” is hitting home for another stand-up comic. Fifty-one-year-old Heather McDonald was performing for a sold-out crowd when she suddenly became dizzy. She fainted on stage, cracking her head on the stage with a sickening sound. Her injuries were eerily similar to Bob Saget’s, but she went to the emergency room. Mystery still surrounds what Saget hit his head on. Police have closed the investigation, so the question may never be answered.

The newly released report stated that Saget died from an unwitnessed accidental fall backwards, and that the late comedian also had underlying heart disease and was COVID positive.

“Full House” star Bob Saget, according to TMZ, died from a brain bleed after suffering head trauma.

TMZ is told authorities don’t know what object he hit — possibly the headboard — but there was an obvious bruise on the back of his head. Saget’s family later released a statement confirming the report.

Bob Saget’s grieving widow, Kelly Rizzo, is speaking out for the first time since he was found dead on Jan. 9. In an interview with “Good Morning America,” she shared their final conversation after a stand-up gig. “He was just on his way home or back to his hotel and just was telling me what a wonderful show he had and it was so amazing and he was happy and just loving what he did. He just said he felt like he was 26 again,” Rizzo said. Social media has also been flooded with tributes to Saget.
