#Comedian skull fracture skin
But while your brain has neurons that sense and feel pain to your skin and surrounding tissues, you can’t feel any injury to the brain itself, Zipfel said. You’ll definitely feel some pain and see a bruise or bump appear. Let’s say you slip in your bathtub and hit your head. Head injuries are dangerous because they are often unpredictable and invisible to the naked eye. There were more than 223,000 TBI-related hospitalizations in 2018.
Traumatic brain injuries killed nearly 61,000 people in the US in 2019 alone, according to the CDC - that’s about 166 people a day. “This is a time to pause and think about how big a problem head trauma is, both severe head traumas like this and also milder forms that have cumulative effects over time, and the toll that that takes on our communities,” Zipfel said. Gregory Zipfel, head of the department of neurosurgery at the Washington University School of Medicine in Missouri, told BuzzFeed News. His death is a reminder that potentially life-threatening brain injuries can happen to anyone and they are not always easy to spot, Dr. Saget also was positive for COVID, according to the report. An autopsy report that the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office sent to BuzzFeed News said he had fractures at the base of his skull and near his eye that were likely the result of a fall.ĭrugs and alcohol were not factors in Saget’s death, the report said, but clonazepam - a medication used to treat seizures, panic attacks, and anxiety - as well as the antidepressant trazodone were found in his system. Saget “hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep,” according to a statement from his family. The cause of death was accidental blunt trauma to the head. Full House star and stand-up comedian Bob Saget died unexpectedly last month at age 65 in a hotel in Florida, while he was traveling for a comedy tour.
