RIP Bob Saget

[gingerlover]

Just saw he passed in a hotel room. Full House and AFV was must watch in my house when younger. Was a fan of his comedy as well and his stint on How I Met Your Mother.

Between this and Sidney Pointier yesterday 2022 is off to a great start

Yup, very sad. RIP, Bob.

So sad. Said he had just performed in Jax last night and preparing for a show in Orlando. 65 is still too young.

So, did they rule out someone hitting him in the back of his head?

This sounds highly dubious to me. I’m not going down some conspiracy theory hole, but is it possible to hit your head bad enough to potentially cause death, yet you decide to just lay down and not contact someone?
I’m not saying it’s impossible. It’s possible I suppose to cause some sort of disorientation. Is there anyone here in the medical profession that can chime in? Can you hit your head hard enough to be fatal, but not enough to cause alarm?

I’ve heard this several times over the years. Generally it happens to older people. Happened to my aunt. Fell. Didn’t think anything of it.

Especially if they are on some sort of blood thinner. Will be interesting to see if that was the case..

Liam Neeson's then not old, and otherwise healthy, dead wife says, "Yes."

Red Cross First Aid 101: never let someone with a possible concussion go to sleep. At least have someone that knows what the fuk they are doing observe them if they do.

Thanks. Then this story is truly tragic. So avoidable and very sad.

If I remember correctly, she felt OK initially after some treatment for the accident - she was skiiing - and over the next couple of days her condition worsened before she passed.

My friend’s elderly mother had something similar happen back in late March of 2020 (early covid days). She fell and hit her head and had a slow brain bleed but she was not a candidate for surgery because of her heart. They essentially said nothing could be done however the hospital was shut down to all visitors. After a few days they called him and said you can come say goodbye to your mother for one hour. He drove 8 hours to Detroit to see her for one and kiss her goodbye. Then drove another 8 hours back home.

Sad story.

Should be criminal, IMO. What was he going to do, give her covid?
