Hi, neighbor!  Sitting in my office in Lakewood at this moment.  As you know, Carol had a terrific career as a figure skating coach here at Winterhurst rink.  Her husband, Hayes, went to law school after his gold medal and was an attorney for one of the rubber companies in Akron until he retired, as I recall.  His brother, David, also a gold medalist, went to medical school and became a gastroenterologist.  Slackers, the whole bunch😉

Carol once told me that she had the chance to tour with an ice show after her gold medal but didn't because her mother wouldn't allow it. 'Nice girls don't skate in ice shows' is what she was told.  Instead, she made her one and only movie, the cinematic classic, 'Snow White and the Three Stooges' and said she made more money in a couple months than she would've skating in a show for a year.  She used the money for her wedding, retired and had 3 kids and started coaching after they were in school.

I’m aware that the Jenkins’ are from Akron.  I don’t know if David settled in the area like Hayes did, tho.

Carol is a gracious lady, and as long as she wasn’t in deep instructional mode, loved to discuss skating with people.

I no longer live there, (we actually lived on the Cleveland side of I-90, off Warren), as hubby was transferred out of state to Chicagoland, and then we re-settled in NC a few years ago.  But most of my family still lives in Rocky River and Medina and Westlake.

Yes he sees them. He was at the Super Bowl with the two girls wearing a hood over his head. One of the kids looked like she was dying of embarrassment. 

Edited to add: when I grabbed this, I did see some pictures of him there without it. Not sure the sequence of events on him wearing it or how long he had it on. 

Just FYI, the kid one the right isn't one of his daughters, that's his son, Saint.

A YouTuber made a video about Kanye’s most recent behavior.  He just won’t let Kim go. He is not making the situation easier on the kids.  Although I agree with him about not wanting his kids on Tiktok I think the way he’s going about it is terrible.

 

I feel bad for the kids who don't have any choice in the matter, but I don't feel bad at all for Kim. She made the personal choice to get with a famous man who's mentally unstable behavior has been documented for years. It's not like she didn't know, but Kim clearly decided that the fame/publicity/ability to be a power couple with Kanye outweighed the negatives. Now she's paying for that choice. I just wish her kids weren't paying for that choice along with her.

Bob Saget's family files lawsuit to block release of records from his death investigation

I knew something seemed off about his death, but people didn't believe me

Quote

Saget had several blunt force injuries of the head, according to the medical examiner's autopsy report obtained by ABC News, including a fracture at the base of his skull and fractures involving the frontal bone.

If you slip & fall, you don't get fractures on the front AND back of your head. He didn't just have an accident.

Honestly, what difference does it make? The manner of death is still listed as accidental. As long as there wasn’t foul play involved it’s really no one’s business. I hope the family gets answers but they also deserve privacy.

You absolutely can fracture the front and back of your head in a fall. If you slip and slam full force into one object and bounce or ricochet into another object. There are also other ways. Yes, is does indicate a significant blow but that doesn’t mean it can’t be accidental. 
 

A doctor of Twitter posted a really informative thread if anyone is interested. 
Here is his conclusion after reading the autopsy. 

 

If there is something sensitive involved it is more likely to involved something found in his room, something he did while in Florida, or what he might have been doing when he fell than anything nefarious.

It also doesn't seem like the family is disagreeing with the findings in filing the lawsuit. I can't blame them for not wanting his autopsy pictures, etc., disseminated.

Yeah.  The family is already grieving.  I can't imagine how upsetting it would be to have to relive the details of his death every time reporters get their hands on new details that, frankly, they're not equipped to understand.

So happy for Simon Biles.   

Saget died in Florida which has really open records.   That's why you get so many mug shot photos and arrest records of "Florida Man/Woman."   The same stuff happens elsewhere but the records aren't automatically open so you don't hear about it.   In this case, the records are presumed open, unless a judge rules they are not.   So the family has to file to get them to stay closed.   And I don't blame them.   They don't need people pouring over their loved ones death records and runnnig around on social media claiming he was murdered.

Same thing happened with all the records for Anna Nicole Smith when she died.  It was a field day for the Journos, but social media was in it's infancy back then, so fewer people got the immediate deluge of pseudo-information and ridiculous and instantaneous innuendo. 

That was in 2007, so people had to wait for the nightly report on Entertainment Tonight, or weekly in PEOPLE magazine.  They didn't get updates on their phone every 15 minutes from 3,218 "news sources". 

It was a simpler time.....

While I find Mr. Saget's manner of death re head traumas on both sides of his skull a bit puzzling, I firmly believe that  evaluations should be left to the legal authorities and his loved ones   and NOT the media, rags, social media or the court of public opinion inasmuch as all the above can easily be swayed by emotion instead of   objective and irrefutable facts. 

Edited February 16, 2022 by Blergh

I can definitely see how a slip in the shower could cause trauma to all kinds of body parts & sides.  

You slip & smack your head against the side while reaching for the bar, and you overcorrect and end up on your butt, with the back of your head getting a whack on the tub edge, your legs go out from under you and you're grabbing at anything, while trying to not get a face full of hot water, so you're flailing around in panic. 

Sounds comical if it isn't potential deadly.  People slip in showers all the time and end up with crazy injuries. 

I did once, slipped and my left shin caught the sharp edge of the water faucet and basically peeled off a wide swath of skin, right up to my knee.  Took ages to heal & I still have the scar. 

I don't believe any alternate theories.

I do think it's odd that the hotel finds a dead man in his suite, with obvious bruising, and there was no investigation of the hard surfaces like the bedside table, shower, marble floor, etc.  To cover their own asses, I can't believe the hotel, whomever removed the body, hotel security, and local authorities (if they were called) did not do a thorough look in the suite.

Just because that information wasn't released to the press doesn't mean it didn't happen.  Orlando is not podunk, I presume there is a well staffed and equipped investigative unit that does the work and provides the coroner with the information he needs to make a ruling.  The coroner says he fell accidentally and hit the back of his head and I would expect that there is plenty of evidence to support that including reports from the investigation at the scene.

Or, it was a simple situation, all of the evidence they had including surveillance cameras, indicated that Saget had no injuries when he returned to the hotel alone, no one entered or left his room overnight and there was convincing evidence that he fell and hit his head at some point.

I just don't see any reason for anyone to be covering anything up at this point.  These days, when celebrities die under suspicious circumstances, we hear about it.

[GaT]

I am not saying Bob Saget's family is trying to cover something nefarious up, they have every right to want to keep their private business private. What I'm saying is that I think this was  declared an accident too quickly. When the cause of his death was first announced, my first thought was "how do they know it was an accident?". Bob left the venue & went to the hotel & nobody knows where he was during this time. Maybe someone tried to rob him, maybe a drunk fan got overzealous & hit his head somehow, nobody knows, they just declared it an accident & that's it. It's possible, but I find the idea that he smacked once side of his head, & bounced off whatever & hit the other side kind of unbelievable. 

[BlackberryJam]

I fully support the Saget family in shutting down the release of information regarding the details of his death and the investigation. The police are satisfied it was an accident. The family is satisfied it was an accident. The coroner is saying it was an accident. The public doesn't need to see a smear of blood on the rim of the bathtub because they are curious. No one with any personal interest is questioning the findings of the coroner or the investigation of his death.

Let the man's family retain some semblance of privacy and dignity.

That’s just not how things work. The hotel moving the body or blocking the police would trigger a deeper investigation particularly in a high profile case. The hotel called 911 and the recording of the call was released. Taking a month between his death and making a determination is not quick when there are no indicators of foul play. Particularly when they have surveillance to know who was in the room at any given time and when it was last cleaned. Investigating the surfaces in a situation like that would not take the long. 

Sometimes a spade is just a spade.

I'm really puzzled by this recurring narrative that somehow Saget's death was not investigated. What exactly do people think was happening in the month that elapsed between his death and the announcement about the cause? It's not like they turned around and immediately declared it an accident the day his body was found or even that week. Just because those details weren't released don't mean they weren't adequately looked into.

Bob Saget's Fatal Injury May Be Headboard-Related, Cops Certain No Foul Play

Quote

We're told the injury to his head was severe enough that they're sure he could not have made the 2-hour drive from Jacksonville to the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando.

But, here's the mystery ... some medical experts say the skull fracture is consistent with being hit by a bat, or falling as far as 30 feet. Obviously, that kind of fall didn't happen, but as for Bob being struck -- we're told the electronic front door lock to his hotel room shows no one else entered the room. Once Bob entered, the next time the door opened was when hotel staff found him in the afternoon.

How do you hit the front & back of your head against a headboard hard enough to resemble getting hit with a bat?

Medical experts who haven't seen the photos, the autopsy, or any of the evidence. It's just disgusting that people can't leave this alone.

No one else was there. There was no foul play, but people won't be satisfied until the evidence, to which they have no right, is released, and it shows he was engaging in unconventional masturbation. It's ghoulish and gross and if I had to grieve my love one and be subjected to these disgusting stories, I'd be heartbroken.

I figured Bob might have told his wife on the phone... "Hey honey, I banged my head really hard tonight. I'm going to go on and get some rest. Love you  Good night!" The investigators talk to her and it coincides with what the medical examiner found. That makes the most sense to me. Of course, I am not sure if my theory contradicts anything that's known.  I honestly can't tell in these articles what is actual reporting and what is just conjecture.

I highly doubt the hotel did their own investigation or cover up of what happened to Saget.   They called 911.   The police came in.   I highly doubt they just ordered the body moved right away.    I highly doubt they didn't look around the room and bathroom for evidence.  We have NOT seen the police reports to see what was done.   So presuming something was NOT done is exactly what I mean by internet sleuths speculating it was murder.   

The man is dead.   The police AND the ONLY PEOPLE WHO MATTER his family all agree it was a tragic accident.   Leave the family alone.   Do you think they need to see news alerts popping up "Saget's Death Suspicious" while they try to cope with the sudden death of their loved one?
