Bob Saget Complained Of Not Feeling Well Before His Death
Ponte Vedra Concert Hall staffer Rosalie Cocci told People Magazine that Saget claimed to be suffering from “long-term COVID” hours before he died. He had tested positive for the virus weeks before his death, and was also found to be positive during his autopsy.
“I did hear him say, ‘I don’t feel good, but I’m ready to do the show. This is what I do this for.’ He kinda seemed like he was talking himself up,” Cocci said of Saget. “He stated himself that… it was taking his body a long time to get over [COVID]. He said that his hearing had been off and that was the case that night. He was asking the sound guys to turn everything up.”
“He said he had been sick the night before, he said he had a sore throat, that he was happy he had lozenges for the stage,” she continued. “Mr. Saget’s soundcheck lasted a while.”
Bob Saget Still ‘Seemed Okay’ Night Before His Death
Cocci typically gets whatever food and drinks performers at her theater need, and she revealed that Saget’s list was “cut-down in half” on the evening he performed.
All there was on there was drinks. He wanted Redbull, Diet Coke and regular Coke and that was it,” she said, adding that she did not see him “ingest” anything, and that there was “not even water on stage.”
Cocci reportedly told police that despite Saget saying he was not feeling well he “seemed okay” in general, and she was shocked to hear he had died.
“He wasn’t sweating, he didn’t miss a beat, nothing slurred,” she told police. “He seemed okay. He really did and it was very surprising the next day… He came out very energetic, and in the half-an-hour, I saw him, he was very much entertaining the crowd.”

Medical Examiner Weighs In
Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany found that Bob Saget died as a “result of blunt head trauma,” and that “the amount of force necessary to cause the fracture, coupled with the fact that the skin on the back of the head was still intact, led him to believe that the injury was most likely caused by ‘something hard, covered by something soft.'”
While Stephany said that “a fall onto a carpeted floor” could have caused the injury, there was no sign of blood anywhere on the floor of Saget’s hotel room.
While he couldn’t state “definitively” when Saget would have been injured, the medical examiner “believed it was probably within hours of his death, possibly within a day or two, depending on several medical factors.”

So we’re supposed to believe Bob Saget fell and hit his head so hard that it eventually killed him, but there was no blood/hair on anything and the door adjacent to his room was left unlocked.. yeah no way that wasn’t foul play 🤷🏼‍♀️
