Office of the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Media Statement on Robert Lane Saget | February 10, 2022
Re: Robert Lane Saget
(ME 2022-00064)
An autopsy was performed on Robert Lane Saget, a 65-year-old male. Mr. Saget was found unresponsive in his hotel room, on January 10, 2022. All testing and further studies have now been completed.
In consideration of the circumstances surrounding the death and after examination of the body, toxicology analysis, histology, and a respiratory pathogen panel, it is my opinion that the death of Mr. Saget, was the result of blunt head trauma. His injuries were most likely incurred from an unwitnessed fall. A toxicology analysis did not reveal any illicit drugs or toxins. The manner of death is accident.
Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget’s loved ones during this difficult time.
