    The wife had never heard "The Aristocrats" joke and let's say she didn't make it all the way through to the punch line. I'm not sure there has ever been someone that had an on-air persona and a real life as opposite as Saget.

    Just read that Bob died of either a stroke or heart attack but also that he'd just gotten over a covid infection he got a month ago....good chance those two events were connected at 65...he got to his room after 2AM .....at 65 he shouldn't have been on the road doing standup after getting real sick in my view....choices. Staying home might have saved his life.

    Yeah, he was found lying with his left hand on his chest, so a heart attack is a pretty good bet.

    A report from the Orange County Medical Examiner, obtained by PEOPLE on Thursday, stated that Saget had likely fallen backward and hit the back of his head. He had fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes at the time of his death.

    Saget was also COVID-19 positive at the time of his death, according to the autopsy.

    Additionally, Saget's autopsy stated that he had cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), coronary artery atherosclerosis (damage or disease in the heart's major blood vessels) and aortic atherosclerosis (plaque build-up inside the wall of the aorta).

    I doubt him having COVID is relevant in this case.

    Sounds like he was probably murdered. Quite a leap of "nothing to see here folks" to assume that unknowingly to anyone else he hit his head on something somewhere sometime somehow but died somewhat later.

    I don't know about murder.

    He did have an abrasion on the back of his head and fractured orbital bones on the front of his face. It seems, he walked into the door header, breaking his orbital bones, was knocked backwards and hit the back of his head....probably in the bathroom (door header to sink or toilet or something) or walking into the bathroom in the dark in the middle of the night...hitting his head on the header and falling backwards and hitting the edge of the bed or a dresser, desk, or whatever was there.

    He tucked himself into bed afterwards and went to sleep, probably after a lot of cussing and working through the pain. He probably thought he would go get it looked at the next day or that it wasn't as bad as it seemed. The blood seeping into his brain might have even padded the pain.

    Would a murderer tuck him in? You could argue he was already tucked in and said murderer snuck in and blugeonded him, hitting him first in the front of the face, then when he sat up to fight back, in the back of the head.

    Doesn't seem very likely. No blood. No other key card entry other than Sagets. Did someone send a professional to take out Bob Saget? Lol. Come on.

    Yes, he likely hit his head unknowingly, as he was in his room alone. No one saw it. It's possible he hit his head before he got back to his room, but it doesn't seem likely. He spoke to his wife before he went to bed. He would have said something. It likely happened in the early morning when before dawn when he got up to take a piss in his dark room or in or after getting out of the shower.

    Or just as easily he hit his head on the backboard of his bed.

    He was probably a spy... He probably had evidence that Hillary is running the country and setting up the whole Russia thing...

    William Holden was drunk, fell and hit a chest of drawers or some similar furniture and died. I figured something like that happened to Bob Saget.

    Nothing Twilight Zone about it. They don't want pictures of his corpse and his autopsy going public. It's a matter of privacy and respect.
