Tinseltown is shocked over the report of comedian/actor Bob Saget being found dead in his hotel room in Orlando, Florida.
According to police, there were no indications of foul play or drugs at the scene. This leads me to think that Saget died suddenly of natural causes, such as from a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, blood clot or anything else that could cause sudden death.
Prior to this, Saget seemed to be a healthy 65-year-old man. But appearances, especially at that age, can be deceiving. It is likely that Saget had no idea that something was critically wrong with him. Who knows what goes on inside one's body. I can only go by my own experience three and a half years ago.
Back then, I had no health issues and was an active 64-year-old. But while attending the Wells Fun Run car show and rally in Wells, Nevada, I was stricken by a heart attack at a restaurant. Luckily, I was with friends at the time and fast action saved my life. I ended up getting two stents in a coronary artery that became blocked. Perhaps this is what happened to Saget. Unfortunately for him (I am speculating), he was stricken while alone and possibly asleep (if he was found in bed). Had he been with people, he quite possibly could have been saved as I was. We won't know until the Orlando medical examiner completes the autopsy on Saget's body.
It is weird how so many celebrities have died in hotel rooms due to various causes. Janis Joplin, John Belushi, Don Drysdale and William Holden come immediately to mind.
It all boils down to when and where one is stricken. It can, and does, happen to anyone. In my case, I consider myself very lucky.
