Questions surrounding Bob Saget’s cause of death increased after the late comedian's autopsy report revealed Saget suffered injuries to his head that are usually seen from a more traumatic blow than one typically sustains from a slip and fall, according to multiple media reports.
Saget’s family released a statement that said the 65-year-old comedian’s sudden death was caused by a brain bleed that occurred after Saget hit his head and went to sleep, not realizing the severity of his injury. The actor was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando on January 9th after performing a comedy show in Orlando, Florida.
Health experts weighed in on the autopsy report questioning the investigation and cause of the blow to the comedian’s head that led to his death. Saget suffered multiple fractures stretching from the back to the front of the skull and along the eye sockets. It also revealed there was bleeding across both sides of his brain. The Daily Mail cited one report in which a doctor said the injuries in the autopsy appeared consistent with a blow to the skull with a baseball bat or falling 20 to 30 feet.
Bob Saget's family has filed a lawsuit against Orange County Sheriff John Mina and the District Nine Medical Examiner's Office a little over a month after the comedian's death.
In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Saget's wife Kelly Rizzo, along with his three daughters, Aubrey, Lara, and Jennifer are suing officials to stop any further release of documents related to the 65-year-old Full House star's death.
In the lawsuit filed Tuesday, the Saget family seeks to stop the release of further details about his death at a Florida hotel and keep the investigation confidential as it "would cause irreparable harm in the form of extreme mental pain, anguish, and emotional distress."
