Controversy surrounded the death of comedian Bob Saget after the autopsy revealed that he had Covid-19 and an enlarged heart with 95% blockage on one side. Several anti-vaxxers questioned if the brain bleed and enlarged heart were caused by the Covid-19 vaccine and booster shot administered to the actor.
The 65-year-old, who was part of a standup tour, had performed a show in Jacksonville. Hours later, he was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, Florida.
Autopsy Report Details Saget's Death as Accident
The autopsy report released by the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office stated that Saget was Covid positive at the time of his death which was caused by "blunt head trauma."
"It is in my opinion that the death of Robert Saget, a 65-year-old white male found unresponsive in a hotel room, is the result of blunt head trauma. It is the most probable that the decedent suffered an unwitnessed fall backwards and struck the posterior aspect of his head. The manner of death is accident," the statement from Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua D. Stephany said in his report.
CNN reported the autopsy also found that Saget had an enlarged heart with 95% blockage on one side. Further, the report claimed that no alcohol was found in the deceased's system.
Earlier, in a statement released on Wednesday, Saget's family said they 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."
"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 read.
Conspiracy Theorists Continue to Blame Covid-19 Vaccine for Saget's Death
Despite no official mention of either Covid-19 or its vaccine being responsible for the comedian's death, it was being discussed on social media platforms.
#BobSaget suffered multiple fractures to his skill before his tragic death in January, according to his autopsy report. I don't buy it! He died from an adverse reaction, caused by a booster shot! He had a heart failure -- a fatal stroke! Dammit...https://t.co/R7SiZoOuIq

Following the death of Saget, who was triple vaccinated against Covid-19, several anti-vaxxers including Conservative political commentator Candace Owens had blamed his death on the vaccine.
RIP Bob Saget. But why the obvious cover-up? He had COVID and was jabbed shortly before his death. He also had inflammation of his heart, a known side effect of vaccine. Any reasonable person must conclude heart attack led to fall.

With the autopsy confirming a brain bleed caused by head trauma, the controversy erupted again.
bob saget passed out because of the vaccine and hit his head and died, the media will never acknowledge this. his heart was also swollen from the vax aswell

"Bob Saget's death with Covid but not by Covid is an example of possible under-counting. Syncope and collapse, and falls with fractures are common Covid comorbidities causing hospital admission. Would the fall have happened without being weakened by Covid? No way to know," tweeted a user.
I DO NOT believe #BobSaget died of head trauma. I think he died from the booster and collapsed. They can make anything up. They won’t say heart attack. He was in a hotel room. What did he hit his head on that killed him? https://t.co/Si3IRU3ure

"The news that Bob Saget had COVID when he suddenly died should encourage all of us to still taken COVID seriously even if we are vaccinated. My understanding is he had the booster shot feel on his head and had an enlarged heart and Brian bleed," opined another.
Bob Saget had COVID at the time of his death. He also had been recently boosted. I’m sticking to my theory that the establishment is disguising adverse vaccine side effects as COVID side effects since everyone will get COVID (but not everyone is vaccinated). Smoke & mirrors!

"On top of the head trauma & Covid, #BobSaget autopsy found his heart was enlarged which the fda put warnings on all the COvid #Vaccines saying they can cause myocarditis," read another tweet.
Bob Saget was vaccinated and even had a recent booster. He was Covid positive. Hit his head and thought nothing of it. Sounds like a brain clot or bleed from the Covid vaccine. https://t.co/ZUDDFNa82A
