Judge grants family request to seal Bob Saget's death records
"We are pleased this issue has been resolved, and the healing process can continue to move forward," the family attorney said.
The death records of comedian Bob Saget will remain unreleased after a Florida judge on Monday granted the actor's family a permanent injunction against their publication.
Saget family attorney Brian Bieber issued a Monday statement expressing the family's thanks for the judge's decision.
"The entire Saget family is grateful that the Judge granted their request for an injunction to preserve Bob’s dignity, as well as their privacy rights, especially after suffering this unexpected and tragic loss," he said, according to WKMG.
"We are pleased this issue has been resolved, and the healing process can continue to move forward," Bieber said. "All of the prayers and well wishes continuously extended to the family are beyond appreciated."
The late "Full House" star's family filed a lawsuit in February to block the release of some records regarding Saget's death.
Circuit Judge Vincent Chiu last month temporarily blocked Orange County officials from releasing any photos, audio, or video from Saget's death investigation.
Chiu wrote that Saget's wife and daughters would "suffer irreparable harm in the form of severe mental pain, anguish, and emotional distress if the requested temporary injunction is not granted."
Saget died from head trauma in his Orlando hotel room in January. His family said that after he hit his head, he "thought nothing of it and went to sleep."
However, some medical professionals who reviewed the report have expressed concern about the severity of Saget's fatal injury.
"This is significant trauma," Houston Methodist Neurosurgery chair Dr. Gavin Britz told The New York Times last month. "This is something I find with someone with a baseball bat to the head, or who has fallen from 20 or 30 feet."
