What was Bob Saget's cause of death?

Bob Saget passed away at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida.

The police and the fire department responded to the hotel around 4pm ET after a security team member found him unresponsive during a welfare check.

He was declared dead at the scene and a preliminary autopsy was performed on the morning of January 10 and said, "At this time, there is no evidence of drug use or foul play."

The Orange County Sheriff's Office told The Sun, "We can confirm that the cause of death was related to internal bleeding from the brain after it appeared Mr. Saget hit his head on something in his hotel room.

"There was a bruise discovered on the back of his neck. No narcotics or alcohol were found in Mr. Saget’s system.

"We believe he did not understand the severity of the internal damage done and fell asleep soon after."

Saget's family told on February 9, 2022, "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. The authorities have determined that Bob passed away from head trauma.

"They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it, and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved."

The statement continued, "As we continue to mourn together, we ask everyone to remember the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world, and the lessons he taught us all: to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter."

On February 15 it was that Saget's family filed a lawsuit to block the release of records from the investigation of his death.

According to the outlet, Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, and three daughters filed a lawsuit against the medical examiner's office and the Orange County sheriff.

The family is "seeking injunctive relief to prevent the release of any records."

Florida Circuit Judge Vincent Chiu issued an injunction in favor of Saget's family's lawsuit on March 14, 2022, prohibiting documents, videos, and photos related to the investigation of Saget's death could not be released.

Bob's death came just hours after he performed a two-hour show in Jacksonville, Florida and the autopsy showed at the time of death, he had an abrasion on his scalp, a fracture at the base of his skull, fractures around his eye sockets, bruises to the brain, and bleeding between the brain and tissue covering the brain
