Fox News
The set of circumstances that reportedly killed popular comedian and TV actor Bob Saget last month are not uncommon, according to health officials.
Some individuals are at greater risk for suffering a TBI or having worse health outcomes after an injury, the CDC said on its website. Falls are responsible for nearly half of the TBI-related hospitalizations, according to the federal agency.
Saget, the beloved star of the sitcom "Full House," host of the long-running "America's Funniest Videos," and legendary stand-up comedian, reportedly died of a head injury Jan. 9 in an Orlando, Florida, hotel room.
In a statement obtained by E! News and Yahoo! News, Saget’s family said authorities concluded the 65-year-old actor "accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep."
