For my generation Bob Saget was something of a second father.
Those offs who are about to or have recently turned 40 most likely grew up watching ‘Full House’ every night of the week. Saget played the docile, straight laces, clean nosed, single father of three girls.
The irony of this is that in real life Saget was somewhat of a degenerate. His excessive drug and alcohol use was no secret and his stand up routines were as dirty as anything I’ve ever heard.
Like many, I was shocked to hear the news that he has passed last month. I was even more shocked when I read about his real cause of death … this is NOT what I expected …
Fox News reported:
‘Bob Saget‘s cause of death has been revealed exactly one month after the star’s shocking death.
The “Full House” alum died from head trauma, according to a statement from Saget’s family and the Orange Country Medical Examiner’s office.
“In the weeks since Bob’s passing, we have been overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of love from Bob’s fans, which has been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful,” the family said in a statement to E! News on Wednesday. “Now that we have the final conclusions from the authorities’ investigation, we felt it only proper that the fans hear those conclusions directly from us.”
Per the statement, citing authorities, Saget “accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep.” The statement noted that “no drugs or alcohol were involved.”
“As we continue to mourn together, we ask everyone to remember the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world, and the lessons he taught us all: to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter,” the statement concluded.

“In consideration of the circumstances surrounding the death and after examination of the body, toxicology analysis, histology, and a respiratory pathogen panel, it is my opinion that the death of Mr. Saget, was the result of blunt head trauma. His injuries were most likely incurred from an unwitnessed fall. A toxicology analysis did not reveal any illicit drugs or toxins. The manner of death is accident,” the statement said. “Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget’s loved ones during this difficult time.”‘
