“This is something I find with someone with a baseball bat to the head, or who has fallen from 20 or 30 feet.” “This is significant trauma,” Gavin Britz, the chair in neurosurgery at Houston Methodist, told the New York Times. His injuries were “more reminiscent” of those suffered by someone who falls from a considerable height or get thrown from their seat in a car crash. Neurosurgeons interviewed by the Times said it would be unusual for a typical fall to cause Saget’s set of fractures. The significance of his injuries has “complicated the picture” of Saget’s death, the Times reported. The blow caused bleeding across both sides of his brain. The autopsy also showed that the 65-year-old suffered a significant blow to the head, which fractured his skull in the back, right side and front of his skull, including around the roof of his eye socket, the New York Times reported. The chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola counties in Florida, said that his death was accidental, most likely from “an unwitnessed fall backwards” during which he struck the back of his head, the New York Times said.
