SAM HUNT and his pregnant wife Hannah Lee ARE still getting divorced. For a while yesterday everybody thought they had reconciled, but that’s not so. Here’s what happened.

When Bob Saget checked into room 962 at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes in Florida on Jan. 7, the 65-year-old comedian was cracking jokes, waving to people in the lobby,” a hotel employee said. “When people asked for selfies, he would run over and grab their phones to take the pictures with them, joking the whole time.” But by the time the weekend was over, Saget was found dead in his hotel room bed raising many questions. The Chief Medical Examiner later revealed in the autopsy that Saget’s death was “the result of blunt head trauma,” ruling the manner of his passing an accident not tied to any illicit drugs or toxins. Additionally, the autopsy indicated he had severe fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes when he died. There are still a lot of unanswered questions. The last time Saget was caught on surveillance video, he was seen exiting the elevator of the ninth floor and walking down the hallway towards his room – he showed no sign of distress. Using his key card, Saget entered his room at 2:17 a.m., hanging a “Do Not Disturb” placard on his doorknob and locking the door from the inside. The door didn’t open again until the following afternoon when hotel security found him dead. Now, investigators believe that Saget lost consciousness in the bathroom and fell backward onto the marble floor, striking his head. Police believe he regained consciousness and stumbled into bed, where he again lost consciousness and died. His time of death was estimated to be around 4:00 am, approximately 12 hours before his body was found.
