    This happened to Liam Neeson’s wife. She fell while skiing, laughed it off and went on with her day. Went to bed with a headache later and never woke up. Subdural hematomas are scary because of that brief episode of feeling normal.

    This is shocking! I was not expecting this. This is why at the nursing home we monitor a patient immediately after, every 2-4 hours for 3 days after them hitting their head. If any change in behavior or vital signs they are sent to the hospital immediately.

    Whenever you hit your head on something or you get assaulted and you get dizzy afterwards, do not lay down. Go to the emergency right aways. Poor Bob Saget.

    A father figure to those who grew up watching him on TV. Sadly, my actual father passed away 26th January from diabetes complications. He thought he would be ok if he slept it off, and like Bob, didn't wake up... It's absolutely tragic how both went, in the same month, in their sleep. I love you dad... ♥
  • Wow, head trauma 🥺 He will always be remembered and I hope this brings a little comfort to his family. May he Rest In Peace 🙏🏽❤️

    This upsets me for so many reasons, most importantly because Bob was dear to my heart, but people need to wake up and realize how serious ANY head injury is. I survived a TBI when I was 8 years old after hitting my head against rocks, where I foamed at the mouth and my eyes went to the back of my head. There’s something called a “lucid state”, where you think you’re fine, and then it gets you suddenly and can kill tou instantly, especially if you go to sleep because you slip into comatose. My lucid state was 2 days, luckily my school noticed and I was rushed to the emergency room and survived, but this same thing happened to Natasha Richardson and now Bob. People PLEASE pay attention to head injuries, big ir small, they can ALL kill you!!! Bob, may you rest in eternal peace.

    This sounds suspicious to me. Which is probably why it's still an open case. How do you fall hard enough "accidentally" to sustain scull fractures to the back of your head and the front of your face? I could be wrong but it's not sitting right with me.
  • All i can say is everyone, i mean EVERYONE spoke highly of his loving character...look at it this way; He had a great show, was really excited about life, bumped his head and died with no suffering, in his sleep. Unfortunate, too early, and sad, but this is one of the best ways to go. The love people had for him will grow, in his loss, and it will make him an icon.

    Bless his whole family and friends! I can’t believe that was his cause of death 😞.

  • @happyfreeliferc
    Bob's death seems very suspicious. How do you get all those injuries from falling backwards.
  • @mamabear1324
    This is very sad. The cause of death is shocking and scary if you think about it because how many of us have hurt ourselves and not thought anything of it and just went to sleep.
  • @dianarendon5845
    head trauma? Then It should be investigated further to see if maybe someone did it to him somehow, weather he probably got into a quick beef with someone and and Bob just didn’t say anything about it, it still sounds really strange that a mere bang in the head would cause a death.
  • @cassie6349
    Now that raises the question of what he hit his head on.
  • @ThePlatinum25
    That is so sad and so could have been avoided my heart is literally broken he was also my dad growing up as well!! Love you Bob!!!😩♥️💕💔
  • @eahlover-hw9lz

  • @laceymakayla
    This is just truly heartbreaking and sad. I just keep wondering what he could of possibly hit his head on that caused his death? It’s scary cause this probably could of been preventable:(
