RIP Bob Saget

[Dish]

The house is no longer full.

[GB Warrior]

Oh come on

[#UnleashSean]

Jesus, were going to have a full page of RIP's at this point.

The Aristocrats!

[Mr. Nielsen]

Wow, 65 years old.

[warriorchick]

I saw a headline that called him "America's Dad".

Um, no.

Also, you never want to see "Found Dead in an Orlando Hotel Room" in any celebrity death story.

I thought the same but a quick google shows it was the Ritz.

That was the first time I realized that the host from America's Funniest Home Videos was actually funny.

You think they never have hookers and blow at The Ritz?

Not saying this is the case in this instance..

[Billy Hoyle]

He'd just done a two hour set last night too. 

What's amusing is the *real* Bob Saget was nothing like the AFHV and FH Bob Saget who everyone loved in the early 90's.

I think you are

[warriorchick]

I think you are

All I am saying is that if I died of a heart attack in a suite at Caesar's Palace, I would not want the story to be that I was found dead in a Las Vegas hotel room.

I've stayed at that Ritz and the JW next door quite a few times.

Is it conceivable he simply had a heart attack?

If you did how could the story not be that?

[PGsHeroes32]

No drugs found on scene

[warriorchick]

Is it conceivable he simply had a heart attack?

Of course.

[rocket surgeon]

      Or "foul play"


First of all, RIP bob, but not sure that's possible until they get this thing cleared up and the "rest of the story" remains "no drugs or foul play"   Sounds like he was universally well liked, so hopefully the wild and crazy stories will remain at a minimum

All I'm saying is maybe we should wait more than 5 minutes before speculating on the cause of death?   He coud have had a heart attack, a Tony Montana mountain of blow, or 500 things in between.

Well now its haunted by the ghost of Danny Tanner, so idk if that makes it more or less of a draw.

[JWags85]

I know a couple of people that had encountered Bob professionally/personally and couldn't speak higher of him. My old roommate's father was actually floormates with him at Temple and kept in sporadic touch after all those years.

Once the 2000s revealed the crass degenerate brand of comedy that directly countered his Full House/AFHV persona, it almost seemed like he was an unsavory character.  But much like Norm, his comedy was super edgy and offensive to some, but the man behind it was an great guy who was truly a mensch

Better being found dead in a Las Vegas hotel room than an Orlando hotel room.

[rocket surgeon]

  "The actor and comedian, who played Danny Tanner in "Full House" and "Fuller House," died after being found in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office"

  so they found him...then he died?

come on man!!

one of my best friends used to work with Comics Come Home in Madison (Farley Foundation). Saget was one the bill one year and my buddy was stunned how absolutely crass and perverted he was (especially when discussing the Olsen Twins). That said, he said Saget couldn't have been nicer or more generous.

Thanks Chicos

if I were Chicos I would have been the one hanging out with Saget.

Instead, dad got to do it. So unfair.

Somewhere Josh Radnor's gotta be terrified that some year in the future  this will happen to him.

Actor and comedian Bob Saget, who was found dead in a Florida hotel room last month, died of a head injury, his family said Wednesday.

"The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma," the family said in a statement. "They 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."

that happened to a kid I worked with. So tragic. Didn't even report headaches or dizziness to his roommate. Shows how fragile the body really is.

But it turns out he didn't just bump his head.  He had multiple skull fractures according to the New York Times.

"It's like an egg cracking," said Dr. Jeffrey Bazarian.

Yikes.

[rocket surgeon]

this is kinda weird-i mean he hit his head so hard, multiple hematomas, both eyes were black and blue...only thing i can think is he was so traumatized and out of it that he just laid down and didn't wake.  but no report on where he hit his head, but they describe the injury like getting hit with a bat multiple times?

Yeah it certainly leaves a lot of questions. But this is just an autopsy so it's not going to answer some of those other questions.

[Dish]

Do we all tend to agree that Bob was probably murdered?

[BrewCity83]

I tend to agree with that analysis.

[StillAWarrior]

I just think it is all really strange. Even before the recent news my thought was, "If I hit my head so hard that it could kill me, I would probably mention it to my wife in a phone call or text." At the time, I certainly understood that he might not have thought too much of it, but I still thought it was odd that he wouldn't have mentioned it to his wife. Now, with the new information that was released mentioning the extent of the damage...well, that's just really strange.

I saw earlier today that his family has sued to try to prevent release of more information. I can't say that I blame them. It's hard to lose a loved one. I cannot imagine how much harder it would be if that person was a public figure and details were being reported in the press.

[The Sultan]

The problem is that video footage apparently doesn't show anyone entering or leaving his room.

[Spotcheck Billy]

I wonder if the Sheriff had any influence in the autopsy report conclusion. They were really quick to say no foul play was suspected. Did they not treat it like a potential crime scene?
Did they not see his skull was bashed in so they just bagged and tagged him and then went on their way?
Did the hotel clean up the room before they realized the extent of the injuries?

[MU82]

OK ... I admit it ... Angry Billy did it, and I helped cover it up!

Angry Billy said something about the Olsens ... and there was some shoving involved ... and Bob's head hit the nightstand ... and ... damn!
