Bob Saget died from brain bleed after hitting his head, not heart attack or stroke
Celebrity comedian and 'Full House' star Bob Saget tragically died on January 9, 2022, at the age of 65 years. He died at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Orlando, Florida where the security found Saget dead after he failed to check out on time. Police initially suspected that Bob Saget had "suffered a heart attack or stroke," following his battle with Covid-19. However, the latest reports have confirmed that it was actually an injury and internal hemorrhage that caused Saget's tragic death last month.
According to the reports, Saget checked into the Ritz Carlton Hotel on January 9 and accidentally hit his head on a hard object. While authorities are still uncertain about what object he hit, they are suspecting that Saget dashed against the headboard by accident. A distinct bruise was also discovered at the back of his head later. It is suspected that Bob Saget failed to perceive the severity of his injury and went to sleep. He eventually died in his sleep from a brain bleed. Contrary to earlier speculations, the toxicology reports showed no signs of narcotics or alcohol in his system.
