Incident Report: Bob Saget's fatal injuries possibly caused by fall on carpet

Bob Saget may have hit his head on "something hard, covered by something soft," such as a carpeted floor, causing the comedian's fatal fractures around his eye sockets and brain bleed, according to an incident report the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Orlando, Florida, released Tuesday.

The fractures "would have stunned Mr. Saget" and caused him to experience dizziness, a medical examiner said as written by a detective in the report which The Associated Press obtained.

If the actor would have been with people at the time, they would have noticed Saget experiencing "confusion, balance, and/or slurred speech," the report states without noting a location for the fall.

The medical examiner concluded that Saget died in January in his Orlando hotel room from accidental trauma to the head, likely from a backwards fall. Investigators were unable to find any signs of foul play and no drugs or toxins were found in Saget's body.

"The countertops, tables, nightstands, and other hard furniture in the room all had sharply defined edges and corners and were thought to be unlikely due to the fact that they would have lacerated the skin," the incident report states, WESH reported. "Most of the chairs and couches were thickly upholstered and were too soft to have caused the type and extent of injury Mr. Saget suffered."

No specific object in the room could be identified as causing the injury that likely caused his death hours later.

"It is most probable that the decedent suffered an unwitnessed fall backwards and struck the posterior aspect of his head. The manner of death is accident," the report concluded per WESH.

The report added that Saget also was positive for COVID-19 at the time of his death.

Florida Circuit Judge Vincent Chiu on Monday blocked the release of records on Saget's death following the family's request.
