- This is 911. - I have paramedics on the way.

- No pulse. He's cold. - Super cold.

Bob Saget...

has passed away in 2022.

When he died, it felt like a small piece of my growing up

had really ended. It was very shocking.

Bob Saget's death, while tragic, was really suspicious

because of the injuries that he sustained.

He had a variety of fractures at the back of the skull,

extending all the way around to the front of the skull.

There's no way that this was just a fall.

I mean, what kind of injury to the back of your head

breaks the front of your eyes?

Bob Saget was murdered by some unknown force.

Hulk Hogan has been ensnared by the belief

the COVID-19 vaccine killed Bob Saget.

You're gonna fall so quick and hit your head

on that lip of the shower?

There was certainly a lot of unanswered questions.

911. Emergency.

The official narrative doesn't tell the whole story.

But you really have to look at everything.

You still have to go down that rabbit hole.

You still have to go down that path.

When a celebrity dies,

the search for answers moves online,

and the truth may be one click away.

This is 911.

- 4012 Central Florida Parkway. - At the Ritz.

I have paramedics on the way.

January 9, 2022,

around 3:30 p.m. local time,

emergency responders receive a distressed call

from the Ritz-Carlton, Grande Lakes, in Orlando.

- Male or female? - It is a male.

As the call goes on, it's clear the situation is grave.

- He's cold. - He's super cold.

- Is he also stiff? - Yes.

Do you think he's beyond any help?

- This one. - Oh, nobody's here.

Police arrive on the scene around 4:00 p.m. local time.

Body-camera footage shows officers

knocking on the wrong door...

...before heading next door to room 962.

Once inside, they're met with a grim scene.

He was lying there in the hotel bed,

face-up, with one arm across his chest,

the other arm down by his side.

Bob Saget, "America's Favorite Dad,"

is pronounced dead.

Bob Saget is best known

for his role as Danny Tanner on "Full House"

and host of "America's Funniest Home Videos."

Hey, hey! I'm a geek!

- My name is Steve Helling. - I'm a celebrity reporter.

I work for People magazine.

And I have been covering celebrities

and also crime for the last 20 years.

Growing up, Bob Saget was a funny guy.

He was the class clown.

Everybody thought that he always had the jokes.

And so he was working the comedy clubs

when he got into his early twenties.

He was doing odd jobs,

and he was trying to make it work as a comedian.

In the late 1980s,

he actually got signed to "The Morning" show.

I'd be scared to wear that 'cause people would think

I'm a basket case.

He did that for a little bit,

and then he signed on to a really surprising thing,

which was a show called "Full House."

And from that moment,

he's known as America's Favorite Dad,

with his wholesome advice

permeating into millions of homes.

-Everybody wishes they could change something about themselves.

He also got a job working for "America's Funniest Home Videos"

during that time, and he was on "AFV" for several years,

and he was doing both shows at once.

So he was very, very busy and he was very, very famous.

For "Full House" fans, Saget is Danny Tanner,

the wholesome father figure.

My name is Mike Rothschild, and I'm a journalist

and author who studies conspiracy theories,

fringe beliefs, hoaxes, and scams,

anything that your aunt forwards on Facebook without reading it.

I grew up watching "Full House."

It was one of those families that you felt like

you knew the ins and outs of the Tanners.

And when he died, it felt like

a small piece of my growing up had really ended.

It was very shocking.

The circumstances around Saget's death don't add up.

America is stunned,

and those closest to him are devastated.

When the autopsy is released,

the official cause of death is made public.

Saget died of blunt-force head trauma.

According to the report, the fatal blow was caused

by an "unwitnessed ground-level fall."

Almost immediately after the autopsy results are released,

the chatter online multiplies.

It's just weird, right?

We can all agree this is very, very weird.

It don't take a rocket scientist

to figure out this one don't make sense, y'all.

Within weeks of Saget's death, rumors and speculation

about the autopsy report's findings grow.

I was really drawn to Bob Saget's death

because when I was in college

studying for my master's degree in forensic science,

my thesis was on traumatic brain injuries,

so I did a lot of research

on the effects of traumatic brain injuries

and what happens when you injure your skull and your brain.

And when I heard that that was basically

the cause of death for Bob Saget,

it instantly sucked me in and I wanted to know more.

- My name is Deanna Thompson. - I am an I.T. specialist.

And I specialize in data analytics

and database construction.

I am also web sleuth at night and on my weekends.

My motto is "the Internet is the new crime scene."

But for Deanna, web sleuthing isn't just a hobby.

She's solving crimes, recently leading an online manhunt

for notorious killer Luka Magnotta.

Her in-depth online investigation

was featured on the documentary "Don't F with Cats."

Now she's in high demand for those desperate to crack a case.

I sleuth because it's the only thing

I know how to do in order to combat injustice.

While the police have officially closed

the investigation in the Bob Saget case,

the search for truth online has just begun.

Thousands of online detectives

log in to message boards and chat rooms,

poking holes in the official cause of death.

While the official explanation is "blunt head trauma"

due to an "unwitnessed fall,"

users on Reddit, 4chan, and TikTok have different theories

about what really happened to America's Favorite Dad.

My name is Justin Ling.

I am a freelance investigative journalist

who specializes in misinformation,

conspiracy theories, and crazy nonsense.

Armchair detectives or Web sleuths

can do a lot of good.

I mean, they can, with the help of numbers,

uncover things and come up with ideas or find leads

that just a handful of police detectives or journalists

may not be able to find.

Fans, family, and forensic online sleuths

log on to message boards and chat rooms

to read the chatter around the official cause of death,

which to them doesn't quite make sense.

"We just want to know what's going on."

"Isn't this weird?"

"Why don't they want us asking questions?"

"Let's find this out together."

So it becomes very much like, "We're all in this together.

Let's figure out our version of the truth."

It's never presented as, "This is what happened,

and you're not allowed to question it."

It's presented as, "We're all asking the same question.

What don't they want us to know?"

Investigations have evolved and changed drastically

over the years, really over the decades.

Just in the last few years

is the concept of crowdsourcing investigations.

I mean, what kind of injury to the back of your head

breaks the front of your eyes?

Raccoon eyes are not typically something

that I would see with a ground-level fall.

After a deep dive into Bob Saget's death,

there are missing pieces to the story.

Bob Saget's death, while tragic,

was really suspicious

because of the injuries that he sustained.

It's clear the official narrative

doesn't tell the whole story.

Less than 24 hours before his death,

Saget was doing what he loved most...

Performing in front of a packed crowd

just outside of Jacksonville, Florida.

When someone dies mysteriously and unexpectedly,

police get involved.

After Saget's death,

Orange County, Florida, detectives

question an assistant at the concert hall

where Saget last performed.

She was in close contact with him before his last show.

He came out very energetic.

He was very much entertaining the crowd.

According to the assistant, and the audience,

Saget seemed to be in good spirits and health.

After his last show,

in what would be his final tweet before his death,

he posts this photo on Instagram and Twitter

with the caption, "Loved tonight's show.

I had no idea I did a two-hour set tonight.

I'm happily addicted again to this shit."

He took that last photograph.

And he was, you know...

He was cracking jokes, and he was like,

"Man, I look good. Damn, I'm good at this!"

So, I mean, he was... He was okay.

Eyewitnesses attest that in the minutes and hours

prior to his unexpected death,

Saget appears to be happy and healthy

when he arrives back at the Orlando Ritz

in early hours of January 9th,

even posing for a selfie with the valet, Orlando Nunez,

who spoke with police after Saget's passing.

I think we had a conversation for about 10 minutes.

Right before he left, I asked

if I could take a picture with him, and he let me.

And I snapped a quick pic with him.

And then he went up to his room.

The photo is presented to the public.

It's on Instagram. It's on Twitter.

It's... It's everywhere.

And there is no visible evidence

that Bob Saget is, like, "shooken up"

or, you know, maybe stumbling

like he had just fallen down maybe

or gotten into a car accident.

There's zero evidence of that happening.

And the valet attendant said that he was totally normal.

He went through the lobby, He got on the elevator.

And there's surveillance video of him

going up the elevator, and he got off onto his floor,

and his room was at the very end of the floor.

So he had to walk all the way past all these other doors.

He was carrying a messenger bag. He was looking fine.

Hotel lock interrogation reports

suggest that Saget used his key card

to open the door at 2:17 a.m.

According to surveillance video, which has since been redacted,

Saget puts a "do not disturb" sign on his door

about 10 minutes later.

The last time anybody set eyes on Bob Saget

while he was alive was when he was hanging out

that "do not disturb" sign.

Once that door closed, he was never seen alive again.

But we do hear from him after that.

Saget posts the selfie from his last show to Twitter

at 3:42 a.m.,

about an hour and a half after he enters his room

and almost exactly 12 hours before he's found dead.

We know he was alive at 3:42 in the morning

because he posted the tweet on Twitter.

That particular tweet was of interest to me

because it was actually a complicated tweet.

And it was grammatically correct.

It had proper punctuation.

So, to me, it didn't seem like

Bob had suffered this catastrophic injury

prior to tweeting.

So that indicates that this fall and injury

occurred after 3:42 in the morning.

Rumors swirl about what went on

behind the door of room 962 during that time.

The official explanation is blunt head trauma

as a result of an accidental fall.

I'm Dr. Darria Long.

I am a board-certified emergency medicine physician.

When we're talking about trauma, of course,

there is a huge gradiation in severity.

We got from the very minimum of a concussion

to getting fractures of your skull

or lacerations of the skull...

to actually bleeding inside the brain.

That is one of the most dangerous.

And he had a variety of fractures

to the back of the skull,

extending all the way around to the front of the skull

into the orbits, which are the bones around your eyes,

as well as hemorrhages

in the inside of his skull, around the brain.

I was like, "Holy shit!"

He had injuries all over.

And then he had two black eyes?

What kind of fall can I have in a hotel room?

I mean, what kind of injury to the back of your head

breaks the front of your eyes?

But it's the detailed explanation of Saget's injuries

after the alleged fall

that seems to generate the most skepticism online,

particularly the injuries around his eyes.

My name is Dr. Martin Rutkowski,

and I'm an assistant professor of neurosurgery

with expertise in complex cranial surgery.

Raccoon eyes are not typically something

that I would see with a ground-level fall.

This is something that you see much more commonly

with a high-velocity, high-impact,

severe traumatic brain injury.

Sleuths search for an explanation

as to how a healthy 65-year-old

could sustain such a devastating injury

from a ground-level fall on a carpeted floor.

-So if we think about the skull base a little bit like a bowl of bone

that literally cups the bottom of the brain,

it's typically a very thick area of bone

that houses and protects

a lot of very, very important brain structures.

And so just due to the deep location of that bone,

as well as the thickness of the bone,

it typically takes a very, very powerful force

to cause a fracture in that location.

And there is one more apparent discrepancy in the report

that seems problematic.

Saget fell and experienced

this catastrophic blow to the head on the carpet

but was found on the bed.

After a major brain injury like this,

I would not expect someone to be oriented enough

or thinking clearly enough to be able

to calmly get themself into bed, pull the sheets up,

lay their arms down in a very organized fashion.

To me, the very traumatic nature of his injuries

does not match the orderly scene that was described

when he was found dead.

Fans and cyber detectives pick apart and gather clues

around each and every piece of the official cause of death

in search for answers on how the beloved actor

died so suddenly.

I don't know what's going on,

but I really want to figure it out.

- It doesn't make sense. - There are certainly

a lot of unanswered questions about Bob Sage's death

that we wanted to delve into.

A standing fall just quite doesn't reconcile

with the facts that are presented in this case.

You would imagine there would be some sort of blood,

you know, at some point, or hair,

or somebody beat him up.

On January 9, 2022,

actor and comedian Bob Saget

is found dead in the bed of his upscale Orlando hotel room.

The cause of death is declared

to be blunt-force trauma to the head

as the result of an accidental fall.

Quickly, Internet detectives and amateur sleuths

flood social media and Reddit

with questions about the official coroner's report.

To me, it all just seems kind of suspicious,

and just something seems really wrong here.

Because these injuries were so severe

and they just said, "Well, he must have fallen

in his hotel room," people are just like,

"There's no way that this was just a fall."

Armchair detectives point to something much more nefarious.

- And is there a crime? - Was there a mystery? Who did it?

Who murdered Bob Saget?

We have to consider the possibility

that Bob was a victim of homicide.

The Web is abuzz with theories

that Bob Saget was a victim of foul play.

Internet sleuths from around the globe

point to information released by Orange County officials

to cast doubt that Saget simply fell

and zero in on the fact

that there is not a trace of blood found in Saget's room.

We should have found evidence of that clean-up

somewhere in the room, but we didn't.

Experts point out that the lack of blood is unusual,

given the type of blow described in the coroner's report

and refer to the description of Saget's head trauma

as suspicious.

As an investigator, if I knew somebody

took a fall backwards that was this severe,

I would expect to find some blood and hair evidence

somewhere in that room.

So the fact that investigators didn't find it

definitely piqued my curiosity.

Something ain't right about this, y'all.

What we saw with Bob Saget was the coup.

That's where they have the impact,

where he probably hit the back of his head.

And then there's the contrecoup, meaning the opposite side.

So your brain goes back and hits,

and then it slides forward

and hits the front of your skull.

That's how you get injuries on the back and the front,

even though they actually only hit at the back.

With the severity of injuries

like those that Mr. Saget suffered,

I would expect to see something much more akin

to either a fall from multiple stories,

a high-speed motor-vehicle accident,

a pedestrian being struck at high speed by a vehicle,

not someone who simply would fall from standing height.

You really need an excess amount of force

to cause that initial fracture.

You need something essentially that causes that ricochet.

So a standing fall just quite doesn't reconcile

with the facts that are presented in this case.

Experts and amateur sleuths alike

pile into online forums and discuss Saget's injuries.

They have a different theory about what happened to Saget.

I need to talk or read from doctors,

so I went to Reddit.

And I found a subreddit called Emergency Medicine,

and there was a Bob Saget thread.

I would say 90% and 95% of the posts

in this thread were all doctors.

And one gentleman said,

"I've worked in a level-one trauma E.R. for 11 years.

And this was not an unwitnessed ground-level fall.

This man fell multiple times in his hotel room,

which you would imagine there would be some sort of blood,

you know, at some point, or hair,

or somebody beat him up."

And everybody agrees with this guy.

It is more likely, in my experience,

for that type of trauma to occur

when you're actually hit in the head with an object.

The force of an object

directly hitting you in the back of the head

would definitely be consistent

with the injuries that Bob suffered.

According to death-scene photos,

everything in Saget's hotel room is orderly.

It looks like he went through his usual bedtime routine.

His phone and iPad are plugged in

and resting on the nightstand.

There's some water at his bedside,

and his clothes are hung up neatly in the closet.

There is no evidence whatsoever of Bob's massive head trauma,

other than the injuries themselves.

One possibility is that somebody

did make their way into that room

and struck Bob in the back of the head with an object

and then placed his body in the bed

and cleaned up the scene.

To support the possibility of murder,

sleuths point to one important detail

in the investigative report.

While the front door was locked, there was in fact another way

into Saget's hotel room that fateful night.

The adjoining room to Bob Saget's hotel room

was unlocked.

And I was really shocked to find that out.

Like, how could that not be locked?

Every time you go into a hotel

and you've got an adjoining room, you check it.

Like... I do.

That's suspicious. That's weird.

Veteran hotel security experts search for an explanation

as to why that door was unlocked.

I have 29 years of experience

in hospitality safety and security.

I noticed in reviewing the report

concerning Mr. Saget's death

that the investigators found that the door

to the adjoining room was unsecured.

This is unusual.

The adjoining door should have been locked and secured

before he entered that room.

As this new detail is released, the comments section lights up.

According to Reddit users,

the new information about an unlocked door

leading to Saget's room points directly to foul play.

If anyone had gone into that room or Mr. Saget's room,

the interrogation of the lock

would have indicated which key had been used,

and we would know who that key had been issued to.

And in reviewing the report

concerning the investigation into Mr. Saget's death,

I was left with the impression that the locks were interrogated

and that it was confirmed

that no one had gone into that room.

But as the idea of a homicide gains traction online,

there are questions about alternative ways

to gain access to the room next door.

In the comments section of this YouTube video,

users point to a hotel employee.

Now, the room next door was not rented

officially to anybody the same night that Bob died,

but that doesn't mean that somebody didn't find a way

to get access to that room

and then enter through the door that joined the two rooms.

Professionally, Bob Saget didn't have enemies.

He didn't have people who wanted him gone.

He had people who were in his corner,

who loved him, who respected him,

and wanted to be around him.

Online, it's a different story.

In the days following his death,

the narrative surrounding the real Bob Saget begins to change.

In looking for answers about his death,

armchair detectives find surprising clips

from Saget's stand-up and media appearances

that call his true character into question.

It looked like a porn doll.

Stories about Saget's raunchy and inappropriate work

outside the sitcom world start to surface,

shocking many longtime fans who only knew

the cuddly, PG-rated "Full House" character.

There's something sneaky going on here.

TikTok users point to Saget's inappropriate humor

as a possible motive,

posting various clips of his raunchy jokes,

suggesting that perhaps the real Saget

was not the friendly dad character on "Full House,"

but instead someone much darker.

Bob Saget in real life would do things like

sit down for one of the most offensive jokes ever,

you know, said out loud.

The joke talks a little bit about pedophilia.

That was, like, the initial spark

to some of the rumors about Bob Saget.

When Bob Saget dies suddenly and mysteriously

in his Orlando, Florida, hotel room in early 2022,

fans flood social media

with condolences, tributes, and memorials.

But it's not all love for the comedian.

Some TikTokers take to the app to question Saget's character.

I was on good behavior,

but sometimes I did some inappropriate, uh, acts.

Bob Saget on TV was this,

you know, everyday dad

who everyone could relate to.

But Bob Saget in real life would do things like sit down

for a documentary about the joke "The Aristocrats,"

one of the most offensive jokes

ever, you know, said out loud...

where he tells a story about a dad

who, you know, basically has sex with his whole family.

I mean, it is totally just so offensive.

The duality of Bob Saget

between, like, the all-American dad

with, like, "Full House" and "America's Funniest Home Videos"

and then, like, all the roasts that he did

and his comedy shows.

I go to a lot of the comedy shows,

and the first time I saw Bob Saget live

I was stunned at how vulgar this dude was.

In various message boards,

users point to Saget's dirty sense of humor

and tie it to a wild theory about how he died.

So I'm looking into some of the theories

that are percolating online about Bob Saget's death.

In fact, in popular QAnon sites like 4chan and 8chan,

a wild theory about who could have killed Saget

begins to circulate.

QAnon originated on the image board 4chan

in October of 2017.

- I will die for my country! - And my family and my friends!

QAnon is a cult-like conspiracy movement

that holds that a secret military intelligence team

called "Q" was working hand-in-hand

with President Trump to leak cryptic clues

to an upcoming violent purge of the Deep State.

The core beliefs are

distrust of experts, distrust of the media,

everybody's lying to you, everybody's out to get you.

They believe he was murdered by an angry father

because this hypothetical father mistakenly believed

Saget was involved with his minor child.

While there is no public legal or factual basis for this...

And it might seem outlandish...

In the mind of the online world, it has legs.

The conspiracy theory that Bob Saget was murdered

by some unknown force

because he had some kind of involvement

with a minor or with trafficking.

That's another one of those rumors that we've started to see

with almost every celebrity death.

It's hard to debunk somebody

not being involved in something.

But we have to look at the evidence.

Is any legitimate allegation against him?

Online, Saget's crime is being a dirty comedian.

Chat-room regulars cling to his "Aristocrats" joke.

While he didn't write it, it's widely believed to be

the most filthy joke ever told.

The father's, like, ripping off his kid's.

And he takes his wife's, throws it off of her.

And he rips off her.

Takes some of her...

And there's a little bit of dripping down.

If you don't know, the joke talks a little bit

about pedophilia.

That was, like, the initial spark

to some of the rumors about Bob Saget when he died.

They brought... People on the Internet

reference that joke when talking about

this whole, like, "angry father" rumor.

Bob Saget, who raped and killed a girl in 1990!

They basically dig up

some old roasts that he's been a part of,

some old stand-up bits.

And there's a whole bunch of jokes in there about pedophilia.

And QAnon decides that all of those jokes are real-life

and that Bob Saget himself was a pedophile.

After his death, it's easy to look

at some of the jokes he told,

some of the, you know, riffs he went on

and sort of look at that... "Oh, he's confessing."

According to the claims of 4chan,

there is actual evidence of Saget's involvement

in the darkest of underground criminal activities.

Floating all over TikTok in the weeks after Saget's death

are photos of what is purported

to be flight logs of the private jet

belonging to known child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Among the passengers listed is Bob Saget.

Anyone that's ever followed anything

that knows about the child trafficking?

Yeah. This guy.

The photos quickly go viral.

Those flight manifests spread out of the depths

of obscure chat rooms

and into social media.

But there is one problem with the logs.

They aren't real.

I don't know where this idea

of falsified Jeffrey Epstein flight logs

having Bob Saget's name came from.

Probably from some troll somewhere.

Could be the US, could be Europe, could be anywhere.

The most important thing is that we actually have the flight logs

for Jeffrey Epstein's planes.

Bob Saget is not on them.

These flight logs are all faked,

and we've known they've been faked for quite some time.

But these ideas are so common, so accepted on these forums

that people don't even bat their eyes

when this sort of thing is said.

Bob Saget was not a pedophile.

Bob Saget was a family man and a regular guy

who just liked making some off-color jokes.

This is the perfect example of how theories run wild online.

Users don't believe the official cause of death,

that Saget died of blunt-force head trauma

due to a ground-level fall.

And when there are holes in the real story,

anything goes online.

Internet sleuths come from different backgrounds

and all bring a different point of view to the Web.

Some take their investigations very seriously

and are motivated by the truth...

When police investigate a crime,

they have to go forward knowing that at some point

they're gonna have to prove those allegations in court, right?

So if you make an allegation against somebody,

you better be pretty damn sure

that you can back it up with actual evidence.

Armchair sleuths don't have that same obligation.

...while others are less credible

and based in pure conjecture and faulty information.

Online investigators have to start taking responsibility

for the allegations they make,

and they have to be pretty damn sure that the allegations

they're making are backed up by fact and not just guesswork.

While, the false theory of murder related to this fake ring

is indeed as absurd as it sounds,

there is one theory floating around online

that has gained even more traction.

And while it has nothing to do with murder,

this theory has strong vocal backers

who are certain that it can explain

how and why Bob Saget died.

"Killed Bob Saget."

I mean, that has like 40,000 eyeballs on it.

- You know, was it deadly? - Was it dangerous?

So there was certainly a lot of thought

that maybe that's what had happened here.

The news of Bob Saget's death

sends shockwaves around the world.

One minute, Saget appears happy, healthy, and hilarious on stage.

The next, he's found dead in his hotel bed.

The official explanation of his death

is blunt-force trauma to the head.

The Internet is abuzz with alternate theories

on how Saget died.

I see a trauma, and I ask myself two questions.

One is, what are the injuries due to their fall...

and then what caused their fall?

There is one piece of Saget's medical history

that he was very vocal about

that occurred in the days leading up to his death.

I try not to preach, you know, but...

I got my booster shot.

I'm 65. So I got it yesterday,

I'm looking into some of the theories

that are percolating online about Bob Saget's death.

It didn't take long for a bunch of these accounts to decide

that it was the vaccine that was the problem.

"The shot killed Bob Saget."

I mean, that has like 40,000 eyeballs on it.

I went to the pharmacy the other day.

I got a booster shot.

Saget's public announcement about his vaccine

puts certain corners of the Internet

into overdrive after his death.

There is a school of thought that the COVID vaccine

may have contributed to Bob's death.

I saw that take off because Saget had been very vocal

in talking about getting the booster.

There are still some unknowns about the COVID-19 vaccine,

and Bob Saget got his booster shot three weeks before he died.

Saget's official cause of death is blunt-force head trauma,

but he's found laying peacefully in bed

and there is no blood found anywhere in his hotel room.

The suspicious nature of his death

has users online pointing to something else...

The COVID booster shot.

At the time of his death, we were in the peak

of all these conspiracies about the COVID vaccine.

You know, was it deadly? Was it dangerous?

So there was certainly a lot of thought

that maybe that's what had happened here.

It is hypothetically possible

the COVID-19 vaccine could have hit Bob Saget

in a particular and dangerous way

that could have contributed to his death,

so I want to get to the bottom

of whether or not this is possible.

The booster theory gains steam

when YouTuber Josh Pray shares a video on Facebook.

Bob Saget...

has passed away in 2022.

Like most Facebook posts,

the action is in the comments section with dozens of comments

flying around taking either side of the debate.

But nothing makes a theory go more viral

than a celebrity's endorsement.

And on Facebook, when legendary pro wrestler and entertainer

Hulk Hogan gets involved,

the "deadly vaccine shot" theory gets its own boost,

pointing at the so-called vaccine "jab"

as the culprit in not only Saget's death,

but also the recent deaths of TV star Betty White

and legendary film actor Sidney Poitier.

Within a week of Bob Saget's death,

Hulk Hogan's on Facebook writing,

"100%. Betty and Sidney were also jabbed.

And they're dropping like flies. But they'll never say it."

I guess "they" is the government.

And apparently later on had thought better of it

and decided to edit the post.

Well, when you edit something that you've posted on Facebook,

there's an edit history so that you can see

all the edits somebody has made to their post.

So when you review the edit history for Hulk Hogan's reply,

you can see what he posted initially was,

"Yeah, Bob Saget died from booster,"

and you can see what he edited it to.

What he should have done was delete it

so there would have been no evidence at all.

But it's too late.

Nothing is ever permanently deleted on the Internet.

Once Hogan is involved, the theory makes its way

out of the obscure corners of the Internet

and into the public consciousness.

This is the sort of thing that leads people to conclude

that there is a conspiracy afoot.

A lot of people respect and know Hulk Hogan for whatever reason

and will listen to what he says on social media.

This is the power of celebrity.

Bob Saget dies in the middle of COVID's big omicron wave,

and vaccines are dividing America.

Each side is looking for fuel for their argument,

and one seemingly small comment from a celebrity takes hold.

For those in the anti-vax camp, it's presented as fact

in the conversation around vaccine safety.

QAnon theories end up in the mainstream media

through a number of different ways.

You'll see a lot of them start to bubble up

in these very niche areas,

places like 8chan, places like Telegram,

places where you don't get a lot of "normies"

hanging around looking for things.

But the most interesting ones,

the ones that mesh the best with current events,

they will start to bubble up

and they'll go to viral threads on Twitter,

viral threads on Reddit, on places like r/conspiracy,

which has hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Based on the facts presented

by experienced medical professionals,

it's unlikely the booster killed Bob Saget.

But it turns out Saget wasn't the picture of health

like his fans believed.

Why does it look like he's dead?

January 9, 2022, around 4:00 p.m.,

Bob Saget is found laying peacefully

in his hotel bed

at the Ritz-Carlton, Grande Lakes, Orlando.

He's pronounced dead at the scene.

The official cause of death is blunt-force head trauma.

And while wild theories are rampant online

about what really happened to Saget,

a main theme in chat rooms and social media

was that this was a freak accident.

Cyber sleuths point to a lethal mix of health issues,

exhaustion, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It appears Saget is the picture of health the night before,

performing in the Jacksonville, Florida, area

on his "I Don't Do Negative" comedy tour.

- He was happy. - And he gave a knockout show.

Everybody said he was hilarious. He was upbeat. He was funny.

- He seemed okay. - He really did.

And it was very surprising the next day.

He wasn't sweaty. He didn't miss a beat. He didn't stutter.

But according to an eyewitness,

Saget was battling something behind the scenes.

I did hear him say, "I don't feel good,

but I'm ready to do the show."

A runner at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall,

where Saget performed his last show,

had insider access to Saget and to his dressing room.

His hearing had been off.

He was asking the sound guys to turn everything up.

He had been sick the night before.

He said that he had a sore throat,

that he was happy that he had lozenges.

Trouble hearing, a sore throat.

It might not sound like a deadly combination.

But in the autopsy report,

listed below all the head injuries,

there is a detail that could provide some answers.

Now, we know that he had COVID when he passed away.

So not only was he recovering from COVID, he had COVID.

In December of 2021, the month before he died,

Saget shared he recently battled the virus.

We know that at some point before early January,

he also catches COVID,

which is not terribly surprising.

This was during the omicron wave

where it felt like everybody got COVID-19.

According to the assistant, weeks after his positive test,

he was still suffering from symptoms.

He stated himself that he said that he had

something like... He said, like, long-term COVID.

It was taking him a long time for his body to get over it.

One of the potential symptoms of long COVID

can also include a vertigo or imbalance.

What is vertigo? Vertigo means that

your body's balance systems are off.

Saget was in his hotel room alone.

After combing through evidence, online investigators believe

he was dizzy and in a dangerous place.

There was a towel

that appeared to be wet and used inside the bathtub.

In theory, I would think after being on stage

under hot lights, sweating, one of the first things he would

want to do is hop in the shower.

If he had any sort of equilibrium problems

because of the COVID

and fell very easily in the shower...

There are hundreds of comments on Reddit message boards

with users trying to figure out where exactly Saget fell.

If you look at the photos from the hotel room,

there's about a foot of space on one side of the visible door

that the bathmat doesn't cover.

And that floor looks pretty slippery. It looks like marble.

You're gonna fall so quick

and hit your head on that lip of that shower?

I really think that's what happened.

Investigators think that Bob may have fallen in the bathroom,

but there was no blood or evidence anywhere to show that.

To figure out how and where Saget fell,

cyber sleuths dig into body mechanics.

Saget didn't sustain injuries anywhere else on his body.

It appears as though his head got the brunt of it,

resulting in the deadly injury.

The linear fracture

is what the doctors on Reddit were saying is...

It's hard to get that kind of fracture by just falling

because your shoulders and your back...

At the angle that it's at...

It's hard to hit the ground.

In my experience

as an investigator and studying falls,

the most common way to fall backwards with no warning

and strike your head is because you've slipped.

A viral Reddit thread

points to Saget's combination of health issues

as the cause for his sudden collapse.

Another reason. Why would a 65-year-old male have syncope?

Well, heart disease, heart attack, heart arrhythmia.

We know from the autopsy that Bob Saget did have signs

of heart disease and hypertension

and atherosclerosis, which means blockage

of some of the vessels in his heart.

That would not always necessarily show up in the autopsy.

Reddit users zero in on Saget's prescription medications

which are listed in the autopsy.

He was taking Klonopin and trazodone, both of which...

Trazodone is a sleep medication.

And Klonopin is for anxiety and a number of other things

Those two medications together

can lower your blood pressure a little bit

and also make you a little bit sleepier.

If you combine that with maybe a heart incident

that just happened just for a second,

it's just enough to cause somebody

to lose consciousness and fall.

Before the official cause of death is released,

Reddit users believe Saget died of a heart attack or stroke

because he was found lying in bed.

But given the official cause,

there are many questions about how he put himself to bed

after suffering such a catastrophic blow.

Something that really, really struck me as peculiar

when I first read about this case

is that I couldn't fathom how a human being

could take such a severe blow to the head,

but yet ostensibly get up off the floor,

get dressed to some degree, and put themselves to bed.

What we can see after a trauma like this,

especially after a brain hemorrhage,

bleeding into the brain,

is what's called a lucid interval.

That bleed keeps growing,

keeps compressing more and more and more against the brain.

And as it does that,

that's when the person starts to lose consciousness.

And if you don't intervene, that's when they can die.

He may have just thought, "It's not that severe.

I got to get up in the morning and catch my flight."

And then passed away in his sleep.

And it's really sad.

He was alone and unfortunately had no idea

what severe of a head injury he had suffered

and didn't think that he needed to call for help.

Shortly after his death,

Saget's family seals his medical records.

We may never see the last images of Saget

walking down his hotel corridor,

and we might never know

if he had more underlying health issues.

We are never going to get an answer

on what happened to Bob Saget because there's nothing...

There were no phone calls. There was no eyewitness.

And I don't think knowing the answers

is going to give anybody comfort.

But online, the investigation is never over.

New theories and arguments

pour into message boards and social media every day.

We might never know what truly happened to Bob Saget,

but that won't stop sleuths around the world

from searching for answers.
