Funnier than your trollingHe was never funny.
Loved Dobie Gillis.Another celebrity died on Sunday - Dwayne Hickman, a child actor who starred in the early TV sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" in the 50's. Hickman appeared in a number of the 'beach party' movies in the 60's. He went on to work as a TV executive and a talent booker in Las Vegas.
On Dobie Gillis - the cast for that show included Warren Beatty, Tuesday Weld, and a pre-Gilligan Bob Denver, who played a 'beatnik' named Maynard G. Krebs.
And soon, some of us will be joining them. We cannot out-run the Grim Reaper. I have gone to more funerals in the last year.Another celebrity died on Sunday - Dwayne Hickman, a child actor who starred in the early TV sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" in the 50's.

He died from ... hitting the back of his head softly enough that he didn't think he needed to go get it checked out?
Maybe due to a concussion he wasn't thinking clearly?He died from ... hitting the back of his head softly enough that he didn't think he needed to go get it checked out?
Uh huh.

Trauma surgeon Kari Jerge tells USA TODAY that a blow to the head can push the brain "up against the skull," resulting in a concussion, a type of brain injury. Jerge says concussion can lead to two possibly fatal scenarios: "bleeding and bruising" of the brain or asphyxiation during unconsciousness.
Who says there wasn't a headache? People don't normally go to the hospital for a headache, even if they did just hit their head. I doubt I would. I would probably do what he did. Go to bed and reassess in the morning.If they found him passed out on the floor, like he had hit his head so hard he passed out right there and then simply never woke up ... I think you'd have a point.
But he bumped out, went "ouch!" and then went to bed. Then that stuff happened? Seems hard to swallow. Wouldn't there be a headache?
I get headaches when I'm stressed so it's no uncommon to go to bed with a headache.Really? I would never go to bed with a headache, for precisely this reason.
Granted knock-on-wood I rarely get them.
Those comments do seem like reason for suspicion. It feels like it would be easy to determine if he had company in the hotel room at some point.Hmmmmmmmm........
Some neurosurgeons said that it would be unusual for a typical fall to cause Mr. Saget’s set of fractures — to the back, the right side and the front of his skull. Those doctors said that the injuries appeared more reminiscent of ones suffered by people who fall from a considerable height or get thrown from their seat in a car crash.
The autopsy, though, found no injuries to other parts of Mr. Saget’s body, as would be expected in a lengthier fall. The medical examiner ruled that the death was accidental. The local sheriff’s office had previously said there were no signs of foul play.
“This is significant trauma,” said Dr. Gavin Britz, the chair in neurosurgery at Houston Methodist. “This is something I find with someone with a baseball bat to the head, or who has fallen from 20 or 30 feet.”
Dr. Britz noted that the autopsy described fractures to particularly thick parts of the skull, as well as to bones in the roof of the eye socket. “If you fracture your orbit,” he said, referring to those eye bones, “you have significant pain.”
The knock ruptured veins in the space between the membrane covering the brain and the brain itself, causing blood to pool, the autopsy indicated. The brain, secured in a hard skull, has nowhere to move, doctors said, and the result is a compression of brain centers critical for breathing and other vital functions.
Not that the two situations are 100% similar but I lost a dog a few years ago in a similar manner. Dog broke free while I was unloading at a hotel in Provo on one of my hunting trips, got hit by a car. He was woozy, groggy and dazed. Got him checked out the next morning by a vet who was right next door to the hotel. The vet checked everything he could, ran some tests, and came back with nothing.I get headaches when I'm stressed so it's no uncommon to go to bed with a headache.
I do believe though that people can have bleeding in their brain without knowing it.
Sorry to hear, losing a pet is always hard.Not that the two situations are 100% similar but I lost a dog a few years ago in a similar manner. Dog broke free while I was unloading at a hotel in Provo on one of my hunting trips, got hit by a car. He was woozy, groggy and dazed. Got him checked out the next morning by a vet who was right next door to the hotel. The vet checked everything he could, ran some tests, and came back with nothing.
I was going to just keep going, figured he was going to be 100% in a day or two. The vet cautioned against it, several times, said he should sit out this hunting trip. Said on a few occasions that "you're going to want to watch him for 36 hours or so". The wife had already started driving up to come and get him so I left him there and kept heading east to SD.
Wife brought him home, he seemed good, was eating and drinking, albeit a little bit woozy. She found him dead on the living room floor the next morning, seizure.
So yes, I can easily see Saget dying the way they originally indicated from the fall and head injury.
I'm not sure how they can so cleanly rule out that he say slipped in the shower and hit his head. That wouldn't necessarily lacerate the skin or leave obvious evidence behind.So: nothing makes any sense. We're going with that he was up high, for some reason, fell and smashed his head on the carpeted floor so hard that he fractured his skull and eye socket. THEN, got up and went to bed, not thinking anything was wrong enough to seek medical attention.
And the door to the adjoining room was unlocked. Hmm. Well, that's probably nothing.
Family just wants it to go away and seems mainly concerned about that no pictures or video leak out.
Feels like someone just got away with something.
