I don’t have time to go into this, but Red State does: Questions Being Raised About the Severe Head Trauma in Bob Saget's Death Briefly, the autopsy report attributes Saget’s death to accident, like: maybe he fell and then went to sleep, and then died.
"In general, older people are at higher risks for brain bleeds because as you age, those blood vessels become more vulnerable to damage, and the space between your brain and your skull increases," Rein said. "So in this case, Bob Saget was 65, so he may have been at a higher risk for something like this."
Saget dying from an accidental head trauma is rare, but Dr. Michael Dorsi told ET that it can happen.
"It's not unheard of, but it's something that I see as a neurosurgeon covering emergency rooms," he said. "I see it several times a year where someone cannot recall even hitting their head and now they have intracranial blood that they can't account for.”
So another neurosurgeon rings in on a brain bleed caused by blunt trauma. As he says, it doesn’t take much when one is older.
There is a lot more info in this article on Saget’s having been fighting Covid for some time prior - he commented about how tough it was. He could still have tested positive (as during autopsy). This article explains.
May have posted this before - this has turned into a real media circus - the coroner who did the autopsy the day after his death said there would be no final results on his death for 10-12 weeks. I can wait. Now if only CNN and RedState and the NYT could do the same. And the experts.
Perhaps at some time we will see the actual autopsy report rather than the coroner’s conclusion, the information transmitted to the family, and the comments by experts to media. Things can get lost in translation.
One correction to my earlier reply. A subdural hematoma occurs between the dura (brain covering) and the brain. A hematoma between the skull and the dura is an epidermal hematoma. Both cause bleeding within the hard closed skull and the brain, causing pressure on the brain.
One more thing I just noticed. RedState links to the report given to family (CNN). That article is dated February 10. In that article the coroner is quoted as saying "The cause and manner of death are pending further studies and investigation which may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete."
Whoa! Most of the dire observations in the New York Times article cited are guesses by doctors hither and yon. Conjecture. They did not see Saget or participate in the autopsy. Note the “if”….
"If the actor struck his head hard enough, and in just the wrong place, it is possible that fractures would have extended to other parts of his skull, brain injury experts said. Situations where someone cannot break their fall are even more dangerous.
“It’s like an egg cracking,” said Dr. Jeffrey Bazarian, an emergency physician and concussion expert at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “You hit it in one spot, and it can crack from the back to the front.”
But experts said that with such an extensive injury, it was unlikely that Mr. Saget would have intentionally ignored it. The injury would likely have left him confused, if not unconscious.
“I doubt he was lucid,” Dr. Bazarian said, “and doubt he thought, ‘I’m just going to sleep this off.’”
Some neurosurgeons said that it would be unusual for a typical fall to cause Mr. Saget’s set of fractures — to the back, the right side and the front of his skull. Those doctors said that the injuries appeared more reminiscent of ones suffered by people who fall from a considerable height or get thrown from their seat in a car crash.”
Then there is this from the actual autopsy, which is descriptive of a subdural hematoma:
“The knock ruptured veins in the space between the membrane covering the brain and the brain itself, causing blood to pool, the autopsy indicated. The brain, secured in a hard skull, has nowhere to move, doctors said, and the result is a compression of brain centers critical for breathing and other vital functions."
An elderly family member fell in her backyard, got up, went inside. Niece and husband (a nurse and doctor) called her later to tell her they were in her city and would like to visit. She sounded confused. They drove to her house, evaluated her condition, and took her to ER. She was found to have a subdural hematoma. No skull fracture, but blow sufficient to break a blood vessel and cause bleeding between the skull and the dura (covering of the brain) which was causing increasing pressure on her brain. They saved her life.
Saget appears to have been a large man (he had clearly put on weight). Could he have fallen in such a way that the back of his head struck heavy hotel furniture?
The conspiracy theorists are running wild - many blaming Covid shots. (eye roll)
Maybe it's because so many different kinds of serious medical situations have arisin from the Covid shots. Check out the thousands of very recent first person accounts on Twitter at "They say it's rare." It's very interesting. I mean, they can't all be conspiracy theorists, can they?
After a head injury, the victim can fall asleep and not wake up. That is why conventional wisdom calls for waking a concussion victim every hour or so thoughout the first night after their injury.

The problem is the authorities have lied about so many things, especially Vax Side effects being a possible cause of death.

Those aren't the types of injuries you get from a fall against furniture. Another doc compared it to getting smacked with a baseball bat.
Point is, experienced neurosurgeons don't get it.

Reread what the docs say about the massive nature of the injuries.
After a head injury, the victim can fall asleep and not wake up. That is why conventional wisdom calls for waking a concussion victim every hour or so thoughout the first night after their injury.
