  1. It’s so easy to bump your head when falling, especially if you are unconscious before falling. He is sadly missed.

    1. @H Mefford How does it feel to know you are a fascist lefty trying to suppress opposition and criticism? Simp harder lefty! Daddy Government likes it when you simp! Seriously though, when did you wake up ignorant enough to believe the media and government doesn’t lie to you?

  2. When I hit the back of my head after falling off a ladder, my face hurt for about 2 hours. This reporting helped me understand why.

  3. I took a spill off a Lyft scooter back in July and hit the back of my head, almost lost conciousness waiting for the ambulance to arrive. I was not wearing a helmet. Hospitalized overnight for observation, missed 2 weeks work, and am still dealing with the after effects of that “minor” accident.
    Head traumas may seem small and innocuous sometimes; take it from me, they ain’t no joke! Always follow through with a licensed medical professional (NOT joe rogan!) if you should happen to sustain one.
    Rest in peace, Bob Saget, and thanks for the laughs!
    Gone 2 soon…😥

    1. @James Enger Trump achieved 100% energy independence for the first time since the 70’s and never started a war. If you consider that destroying the GOP then you are an idiot. If anything, Biden destroyed the DNC by causing three humanity crisis in a single year and that doesn’t include destroying women’s sports or rampant inflation.

    2. @James Enger Mexico not paying for the wall is really not a big deal. America generates enough tax revenue to pay for it 3 times over in a single week. Biden “continued development” and reinstated Trump’s remain in Mexico policy November 2021.

      Trump did removal Obamacare. He did not replace it. We should have universal health care but it should be paid with taxes just like our military. Not through every insurance and pharmaceutical company for mass pay offs which is exactly what Obama care is. A huge waste of money for corruption.

      Obama, Biden and Hilary all promised transparent federal spending. It’s never going to happen.

      Hillary did get seal team six killed. She was in charge of the operation.

      A 4 hour riot where nothing was insurrected is not an insurrection. Nobody has been charged. So legally, the left is lying.

      Nobody genuinely believes Biden is the single most popular man to ever walk the earth in all recorded history with 81 million votes. He is a double brain removal surgery patient who pinched a girls nipple, dropped racial slurs and called a major a N in 1985. He promised to take our “AR-14s” and Trunalimunumaprzure. How the actual F are you going to say that a racist pedo is the most popular man in all history?

    3. @NPC 8647 HILARIOUS.
      Sure tRump disavows Racism… each and every time he’s called out for and shown to be a slimy conman Racist.

    4. @NPC 8647 tRump couldn’t even get an Infrastructure Bill passed… in 4 years!
      Thankfully , the Elite got their tax break.
      By the way, it’s not quite energy independence when you are simply dipping into reserves (domestic and previously purchased international coffers) because you piss off all our actual allies.

  4. Ok. I’ve seen, and lived, this scenario twice. The psych meds likely have little to do with his death. But a 95% occlusion of a coronary artery CERTAINLY could have. He probably experienced an arrhythmia that caused him to fall to the ground (usually does. Did me, and my father. You just faint & fall & don’t realize WHY) and unfortunately he hit his head hard on something causing a brain hemorrhage. I’m so sorry for him. I could have been him. Anyone of us could have been him. RIP, Sir. 🙏 Condolences to all that loved him.

    1. @Johanna Hidalgo Given it was probably blood-pressure related, it might not have been a single fall or he may have hit something else on the way down. My dad came off of a roof once and his heels and ankles hurt so much he didn’t realize he’d also cracked his ribs until quite a bit later. Bone also takes roughly 6 weeks to heal, so it could’ve happened a few weeks before. One of his sisters died of a brain aneurysm so it wouldn’t surprise me if he had weaken blood vessels in his brain. An impact with the right amount of shock plus the affect of the occlusion on his blood pressure could definitely cause internal bleeding even if his family didn’t have the sorts of issues it does.

    2. @Johanna Hidalgo , I believe the fractures were due to his head banging on something. A bathtub, or ceramic toilet. Something very hard. I don’t know exactly where he was found. I’m guessing the bathroom.

    3. @sli97 weird… because there is a phenomenon of children and pro athletes having heart attacks that just started in 2021. Gee I could only wonder what all of society has done different to cause this?

    4. @Sara Mill , @NPC8647, Seriously? The ignorant do have to get in their two cents worth of conspiracy theories don’t they? Sheesh SMH This does not to the wonderful man he was any service.

  5. He could’ve just passed out or had a seizure . My cousin had an epileptic seizure when he was on his own, he looked like he’d been beaten up , his face was black & blue and so swollen he was unrecognisable , these things happen. I wish these people would just let Bob RIP & his family heal from their loss.

    1. @Matt Arby Well if they found it during autopsy then it’s on record. But yeh, it’s almost like they want something to be sinister or more to his death because it would be a big story & it’s all about ratings for them ..

    2. @Maria R I’ve been there. I had a prescription antidepressant that caused me to have four seizures and multiple falls in one night. I had a skull fracture and two brain bleeds. I don’t remember any of it.

    3. I will just add that the brain bleeds caused me to stop breathing. If I had been alone when this happened, I would not have survived. I feel so sad for Bob Saget and his family. 😢

  6. I slipped on water and hit my head into a mirror. Didn’t fall, mirror didn’t break. I rubbed my head for half an hour and then thought nothing of it. Didn’t realise I was having a brain bleed. It’s been nearly 11 years and I am suffering with chronic pain in my head, neck and upper back every single day. The multiple operations and procedures have not worked, I have insomnia, sometimes the pain is so bad I can’t see and it feels like I’m a caged animal in my own body. Tried prescription opioids, but it just masks the pain and you can’t function, so no thanks.

    Your head says you can do normal things, but your body says something different. Something like picking up an empty plate is too difficult, using an electric toothbrush will cause several days of pain in my arm, getting bumped into is a fear as anything can trigger it. Car and train journeys are unbearable. But…you push through each day and fight the demons you can fight. I am able to do a lot, albeit slower and over a period of time. Sometimes I forget my limitations and there is much regret.

    I have accepted living with a new version of myself but I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

    Never take a bump on the head for granted.

    1. I applaud your fantastic spirit and your decision to keep going, but I truly weep for the pain you suffer. I am so sorry. Thank you, my fellow human sibling. Even in your pain, you are reaching out to help others avoid a similar experience. I will honor your struggle by taking your advice 💜

    2. @Immortal Asirpa – Bless you. I appreciate your kind words. Sometimes a trauma can be a blessing as well as a curse. The blessing is that whilst trying to mentally heal through therapy, I studied it too & became a qualified therapist. Been about 8 years now that I volunteer for a charity providing therapy to people with complex traumas & suicidal ideation / tendencies. I have a full time senior management position & am a board member for a charity too. It’s amazing what path you suddenly find yourself walking with 1 incident that was over in seconds.

      Everyday you fight yourself, but there are ointments and icepacks and over the counter pain killers, osteopathy, mindfulness techniques to name but a few, that might help or might not.

      Getting over the anger is the hard part. Walking alongside with pain and admitting that this is part of you is when you become somewhat at peace with yourself. That in itself is a very bumpy road, but a road worth taking.

  7. The Klonopin Imo was most likely for Anxiety/panic disorder and the Trazodone is a common RX used to help people sleep… I’m not sure why they are calling it an anti-depressant? I’ve been on both before. And both helped me very much… say what you want about them… it doesn’t say anything about “toxic levels” just that they were “in his system.” Probably at a prescribed dosage amount.

    The big concern for me is, how did he get “fractures around his eye sockets and a brain bleed and bruise on the back of his head?” And then just go to sleep????
    It sounds like someone beat the crap out of him??

    The enlarged heart was tragic and probably could’ve killed him soon if he didn’t see a Dr about it, especially with his family history of heart disease.

    Being positive for Covid 19 imo, didn’t cause his death, although it certainly didn’t help.

    However how does the family have “closure” all of this adds more questions for me???
    Anyone else agree?

    1. I was thinking the same thing KJK, why is no one wondering how he got so many fractures from one fall. Something sounds fishy.

    2. @Marques de Valera Anything is possible… Good point, I just am having a hard time understanding how his “eye-sockets” became fractured?? I don’t think or feel the Dr’s did a good job at explaining that part of his “injuries.” I know they didn’t personally do his autopsy, so they can only go by the info passed on to them.
      However, I find it odd that they are all or seem so “positive” that he fell.
      One of the Drs even said those injuries were caused by more than ONE FALL?! Something just seems “off.”
      Again, this is just my opinion… I just know if that was my Dad or brother, I would have a lot more questions now… more than ever…
      If they are satisfied though, I guess that’s all that truly matters…

    3. This probably wasn’t the first time he fell. It’s very easy to get a fracture and not know about it. They also didn’t say how old it was.
      Those two medications are sedatives, which people with situational anxiety sometimes take to prevent panic attacks. There’s no way of us knowing exactly why he took them without his medical records.
      Covid 19 is found to make worse any conditions you already have; that’s probably why he had trued yo protect himself as much as possible from severe covid. But with a heart that clogged, being 65, and on sedatives, it was a question more of when, not if. Catching covid might have raised his blood pressure just enough for a stroke, or made his medications react differently than usual, or this was just one of many falls that kept shrugging off and this one finally got him.

  8. If he took both of those meds before bed, he could have gotten up during the night to use the bathroom and, in s as haze, fell. Trazodone can really put a person into a “fog”.

  9. Two of those drugs are known to cause drowsiness–the klonopin and the trazadone. Trazadone is sometimes prescribed as a sleep aid, not just an antidepressant. My mom had to stop trazadone at night because she would sleepwalk and fall.

  10. The heart stuff probably added a ton of dizziness and light headedness as well. Especially in combo with the trazadone and klonopin.

  11. I had 95% right coronary artery blockage and nearly lost consciousness, very suddenly, twice before it was diagnosed and a stent placed. He could have easily passed out and awakened without knowing what had happened. My condolences to his family.

  12. I worked front desk at a hotel , to say it’s the responsibility of reception to ask about someone’s appearance or health is unfair.

  13. Most probable case was stroke or heart attack resulting in a fall given his health conditions. COVID amplifies the risk from both cardio and blood pressure ailment and hematoma are common as result of strokes, given the dizzied state most suffer while standing up or moving rapidly as an effect of COVID paired with the numbness of high blood pressure it is almost certain. I side with not publicizing autopsy results and other information that could prove vital if this does take a turn though.

  14. I work on an ambulance and went to a call for a drunk lady in her 60s at a bar who had fallen forward and hit her forehead on the bathroom floor. She refused medical attention and was driven away from the scene. 10 minutes later, we were called to a hotel parking lot. That woman had experienced another fall, this time backwards causing a open laceration to the back of her head. We took her to the ER this time, and an MRI showed a brain bleed. If somebody falls and is under the influence of something, they can probably just fall a second time.

  15. I almost always hit my head getting in and out of cars. It doesnt have to be a hard blow either, just has to be in the right spot to cause damage.May his family find peace ♥️♥️♥️ safe journey home Bob ♥️♥️♥️
