This is not uncommon. Also he could have hit his head hours before. Didn't have to be in the hotel. Happened to the actress Natasha Richardson. Fell sking. Felt fine. No blood, cuts, no bruising. Laughed about it after sking. Hours later had headache, refused seeing doctors and ambulance. Died two days later.

That's not how it happened. She was flown by helicopter to Lenox Hill within a few hours of the incident.

But yes, many people have died from closed head injuries. I've seen it no less than half a dozen times.

Bob Saget was best known for Full House, but he was just a good guy who did not at all seem to be affected by being successful. Good clip here about him talking about working Richard Prior. Language not safe for work.


Bob Saget was on Artie Lange's podcast a couple of months before he passed away. As many know, Artie hit the skids the last several years, but Bob did not turn his back on Artie, and listening to him on the podcast with Artie, he lives up to Artie's words that Bob is the sweetest guy.

Everything I said was fact. She refused treatment twice. Once after being brought down the sloop a second time when a ambulance was called a few hours later. It was after that she was flown to NYC Lenox Hill.
My major point is that it could be fine for hours until symptoms begin to show. We don't where Saget injuries occurred so people saying it/speculating it happened in the hotel or the bathroom are just making crap up.
My major point you agree with, this happens more often then many think.

When did he arrive at his room?
Can we put this to rest?

And @HeywoodGiant posted misinformation. Hotel staff entered his room at 4:18 pm, not 4:00 a.m. Perhaps Heywood could appear on Joe Rogan to clarify the misinformation?


"In the initial death investigation, the report stated that Saget was expected to check out of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Orlando Sunday, Jan. 9. But his family was unable to get ahold of him. Records showed the last time he used his key card to enter his room was 2:17 a.m. Sunday."

"Family members contacted hotel security who sent a team member to perform a welfare check.

When the security team member entered the room, he noted all the lights were off.

Investigators found no signs of foul play. The room was "orderly" with Bob Saget's items on the nightstand, TV stand, closet and bathroom.

According to the report, Saget's "left arm was across his chest while his right arm was resting on the bed. No signs of trauma were seen."

Honestly, this is not very hard to believe. It is also sad and disturbing. Brain bleeds following a trauma can be subtle at times. He may just have felt like he had a bump on the head and was fine. As for the weird conspiracy tweet posted earlier: why would someone want to eliminate Bob Saget? Did he have the "killer joke" from Monty Python fame?

Why would a wife be calling at that hour?
Perhaps he promised his wife he'd check in after his show. He didn't, she thought that was odd, she called the hotel. She was up because she was waiting for his call, then stayed up because she was concerned when she didn't hear from him.

Rogan asked what it was like working with that N word Pryor.

? Must have missed it.
The clip was a heartfelt piece about Saget just being a good guy and how he connected with Richard Prior.
I know. My comment was a tongue in cheek one about Joe Rogan and the firestorm surrounding him and his loose use of the N word that he's tried to run away from.

Covid positive
Irrelevant as to cause of death according to the autopsy.

"In consideration of the circumstances surrounding the death and after examination of the body, toxicology analysis, histology, and a respiratory pathogen panel, it is my opinion that the death of Mr. Saget, was the result of blunt head trauma," [Chief Medical Examiner] Stephany stated. "His injuries were most likely incurred from an unwitnessed fall. A toxicology analysis did not reveal any illicit drugs or toxins. The manner of death is accident."

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and narrative, no matter how wrong and misguided they may be. The only firestorm is from the jealous elite media types that can't get over the fact that Joe Rogan has an audience that dwarfs theirs.

Meanwhile, others, including the sitting President, Howard Stern, and a litany of others have used the same word in ways that many would consider equally or more offensive. Same for Neil Young and Joy Reid, who have made some very vile homophobic statements, and Joy continues to spew bigoted and vile rhetoric on race. But since they are on the purported correct side of of some silly narrative, they all get a pass.

Read the autopsy report. His orbital bone was also fractured. something is going on here
Please stop. Not out of the ordinary for a fall on tile or something similar. Please explain to me why he would be the target of some cover up? Why am I even asking? Arrrgh! I am done too. I’ll hang up and listen to your answer.

So you're basically trying to say you have no problem with Rogan casually throwing the word around.

Yes, and the linked article above said:

The coroner report said: "Per the report, the beloved Full House actor had posterior scalp abrasions, subgaleal hemorrhage (which is blood that forms between skull and scalp), discoloration in the upper and lower eyelids due to skull fracture, subdural hematoma (which is a buildup of blood on the surface of the brain) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (which is bleeding in the space that surrounds the brain)"

Dr. Raj, who did not perform the autopsy speculated:

Dr. Roshini Raj, an Associate Professor of Medicine at NYU Langone Health, told PEOPLE, "This report shows that the [skull and] brain suffered trauma which led to skull fractures, bruising of the brain and actual bleeding in the space around the brain. This blood can compress the brain and cause death. The coroner determined that this trauma was most likely caused by an accidental fall backward."

Speaking about the fracture around Saget's eyes, Raj said, "The head hits something hard and the skull fractures in different places including the orbits (the part of the skull around the eyes) and that causes bleeding which compresses the brain. The force of the hit on the head can also directly bruise and damage the brain."

NOTE- the autopsy report in people said NOTHING about a fractured orbital bone or fractured orbits. This was speculation on the part of the NYU Langone Health doctor.

However, a basilar skull fracture often results in bruising around the eyes or what is referred to as "raccoon eyes."

Could not find anything on a Google search that said Saget had fractured orbits.

No, that is not at all what I said or tried to say. I'm done with this discussion, as you initiated something that did not belong in this thread, and you are entitled to your own opinions and narratives, no matter how misguided they may be.
