The set of circumstances that reportedly killed popular comedian and TV actor Bob Saget last month are not uncommon, according to health officials. Approximately 166 Americans die from traumatic brain injury (TBI) related events each day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some individuals are at greater risk for suffering a TBI or having worse health outcomes after an injury, the CDC said on its website.
Falls are responsible for nearly half of the TBI-related hospitalizations, according to the federal agency. Saget, the beloved star of the sitcom "Full House," host of the long-running "America's Funniest Videos," and legendary stand-up comedian, reportedly died of a head injury Jan. 9 in an Orlando, Florida, hotel room.
In a statement obtained by E! News and Yahoo! News, Saget’s family said authorities concluded the 65-year-old actor "accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep." "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," Saget’s family said in a statement, according to multiple reports. "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." There were no signs of alcohol or drugs in his system, according to the statement. Bob Saget and John Stamos starred in "Full House" together.
