One forensic expert revealed that according to the photos of the Hotel room in Florida where Bob Saget’s body was found in January this year, a simple “accidental” fall couldn’t be the reason for the comedian’s cause of death.
In an exclusive interview with Radar, Famed investigator Dr. Cyril Wecht provided evidence that shows the floor section of the hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando where the Full House star was found on Jan. 9 is “padded” and impossible to cause major injury that could lead into one person’s death.
He was also quick to discount the investigator’s conclusion that the comedian fractured his skull by smacking his head against either the headboard or the carpeted floor and went to sleep.
Wecht said, “The photographs substantiate very firmly my belief that there is NO WAY that he could’ve sustained the multiplicity, and anatomical variations, of all those head injuries by striking his head on the floor or against the headboard.”
He added “They’re padded! The floor is padded. The headboard is padded. I don’t like to be absolute but in this case, I’m sure! It was a blow that produced injuries in the frontal and occipital areas of the brain, as well as other areas, which is just not possible.”
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office released this week the photos from police bodycam video and the 911 tapes, Saget’s cause of death was questioned by numerous doctors and experts.
The 50 photos show Saget’s hotel suite looking remarkably tidy and blood-free and no indication that the comedian crashed his head. Even the furniture, bed, clothing, and sneakers in the closet appeared undisturbed and organized
There were unopened bottles of booze in the minibar; a juice can in the trash, and his glasses, headphones, and iPad, along with two bottles of water on his nightstand.
Police also released an interview with the hotel valet Orlando Nunez who took a selfie with Saget before his death.
Nunez said, “He seemed fine as he was — me speaking to him for that small period of time. He just seemed fine.”
The conclusion of Orange County Medical Examiner Dr. Stephany of Saget’s death was caused by falling backward, striking his head, and then somehow crawling into his bed where his body was found. And added that there was no suspected foul play.
The release of Saget’s autopsy photographs was recently blocked by a judge after his family filed a lawsuit to prevent further details about his death, according to a Vanity Fair report:
The suit, filed against Orange County’s sheriff and medical examiner’s office, asks that graphic details of the investigation not be disclosed publicly. These include “photographs, video recordings, audio recordings, statutorily protected autopsy information, and all other statutorily protected information,” the lawsuit reads, stating that such records “graphically depict Mr. Saget.”
Dr. Wecht suggested a second autopsy of Saget’s body and calls for a deep-dig investigation by authorities, to see by chance if someone entered Saget’s room before his death.
“There is something very very suspicious about this case. The family not pursing it, wanting to not have anything discussed and the local authorities and detectives having nothing to say or do, as far as I know, is something that is mighty suspicious. I believe there is something a lot more to this to explain how he sustained all these injuries.”
