Bob Saget appeared to be in good spirits just hours before his unexpected death at the Orlando Ritz-Carlton in January, according to a fan photo taken outside the hotel.
Hotel valet Orlando Nunez says he met the “Full House” actor as he returned from a gig over two hours away. Nunez asked for a photo, and despite the late hour, Saget obliged.
After snapping the pic, the pair spoke for a few minutes before Saget made his way to his room and Nunez parked his car.
Nunez, 21, says that the stand-up comedian had no visible injuries during their meeting and that his car was in good shape, ruling out any possibilities of a car accident.
“I didn’t see any injuries, he didn’t seem hurt, he wasn’t slurring his words. He was exactly as I remembered while while watching him on the TV as a child,” Nunez told authorities, TMZ reported.
While their photo also suggests that Saget had no bruising upon his arrival to the Orlando hotel, his body was found unresponsive in his room with a bruise under his eye.
Soon after, family released a statement confirming the funny man “passed from head trauma.
“They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved.”
An autopsy report concluded that the former “America’s Funniest Home Videos” host suffered multiple fractures to his skull during what was likely, “an unwitnessed fall backwards,” resulting in a fatal brain bleed.
Saget’s family later sought to have the autopsy sealed, with a Florida judge agreeing to an order which permanently blocks the release of photos, video and other records connected to the investigation.
The beloved television star — who is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and three daughters — was laid to rest in Los Angeles, where his funeral was attended by celebrity friends including Dave Chappelle, Kathy Griffin, John Mayer, Jimmy Kimmel and “Full House” co-star John Stamos.
