According to multiple reports, investigators into Bob Saget's death are claiming the injuries he suffered before his death included NO foul play. Evidence gathered at the scene indicates Saget was the only one who entered his hotel room, in the hours before his passing.

As you know, Bob Saget died from a "brain bleed" after hitting his head on something so violently it caused internal bleeding. Investigators for both the Medical Examiner and Police Department are clear there was no foul play and say his blow to the head happened inside the hotel room.

So how do they know for sure? Well, authorities claim the injury to Saget's head was so bad he could not have made the 2-hour drive from Jacksonville -- where he performed earlier in the evening -- to the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. In other words, it had to have happened in the hotel room.

Bob Saget's Death Investigation: Head Injury Consistent With Blow From A 'Bat'

Shockingly, medical experts say the skull fracture is "consistent with being hit by a bat, or falling as far as 30 feet." Obviously, Saget didn't fall off of a cliff, so how in the world did he get such a massive fracture?!

The operating theory of law enforcement is that Bob Saget accidentally struck a portion of the bed's headboard that is NOT padded. The hotel's headboards are made of wood, so it's possible he fell backward and hit his head...hard. Of course, many have issues with the fact that Bob was tucked into bed and under the covers at the time of his death.

So, Saget would have had to slam his head on something in the hotel room and be conscious enough to get into a sleeping position in the bed. Based on the injury, authorities believe he lost consciousness very quickly following the impact, so the obvious conclusion is the headboard.

As we reported, the Medical Examiner theorized it was an "unwitnessed fall backward" somewhere in the hotel room. 

Again, the issue with the finding is that -- why didn't the medical examiner specifically mention the headboard in the autopsy report. Of course, conspiracy theorists would claim they might not be 100 percent sure of that fact.

To add to the mystery, Bob Saget's filed legal documents to block the release of further information -- including photos -- from the scene of his death. In Florida, most of the investigation reports and pictures would be considered public records and released to the media. Today, a judge signed off on keeping the death scene photos private, adding more mystery to the situation.

Obviously, this is a terrible situation for Bob's family to go through, but many of his fans are just looking for answers. Many have a hard time believing he accidentally hit his head on a headboard and just passed away.

The bottom line...the severe injury to his head, and the fact that it was noticed right away, leads many to believe there should be more investigation in this case.
