Elderly b list comedian dies from blunt force head injury, no signs of foul play per the coroner, who concluded the injury to the base of his skull and the resulting bleeding and/or pressure was likely the result of a fall backwards onto a hard surface with a soft covering, such as a carpeted floor.

But you are sure it's murder because....his wife has an italian last name?

No, I assume it was murder because the damage to the skull was extensive, it would have been a traumatic injury, and yet it appears Bob Saget tucked himself into bed and went to sleep? If he could get up at all, he'd dialing 911, it would be horrendously painful. I believe he was hit on the back of the head with a sap, or a similar weapon, for reasons unknown. They may not have intended to kill him, as there are common misconceptions regarding head trauma being as it is portrayed in media as somewhat harmless. I.e. knock a person out with the butt of a gun and they wake up fine a few hours later, except for a headache.

The wife having ties to organized crime is just speculation.

Not really. He had an abrasion on the back of his head and had skull fractures consistent with falling and hitting the back of your head. Was he a tall guy? Striking someone in the head leaves different injuries and tell tale signs than blunt force from a fall, and no such signs were found. Now could he have been shoved to the ground, backwards down some stairs by an intruder, resulting in his injuries. Sure. But again, less likely.

I believe he was hit on the back of the head with a sap, or a similar weapon, for reasons unknown.

Again, being struck by an object in the head typically leaves characteristic injuries that weren't found.
