Two deputies are disciplined for sharing information about Bob Saget’s death

Two Orange County deputies have been disciplined for spreading information about Bob Saget‘s death before it was made public.

According to a report from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies Emiliano Silva and Steven Reed violated department procedure when they shared details of the comedian’s passing before the public information officer could inform the public, ClickOrlando.com reported. 

The 65-year-old comedian died unexpectedly on January 9 after suffering a head injury in his Orlando hotel room. 

Asked if she was surprised by the conspiracies following her husband’s death, Rizzo told DailyMail.com: ‘In today’s day and age not really. Nothing is really shocking anymore’

According to the report, the deputies leaked details of Saget’s death before his wife Kelly Rizzo was notified, resulting in ‘an influx of media inquiries at a time when Mr. Saget’s next-of-kin had not been notified and Homicide Unit detectives had not even arrived at the scene.’  

The pair now face unspecified disciplinary action for violating the department’s dissemination of information directive. 

Silva, who was one of the responding deputies at the scene, told his brother of Saget’s death, who in turn posted about it on Twitter. 

The deputy as unaware his brother tweeted ‘RIP Bob Saget’ until he was shown a screenshot forty minutes later, the report said. 

Silva was upset and asked his brother to delete the tweet but by that time the media already picked up on it. 

The report added that Reed, who was off-duty at the time, informed two of his friends who had gone to one of Saget’s shows about the comedian’s death.

Saget, best known as single dad Danny Tanner in 90s sitcom Full House, was found dead at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando the morning after a standup performance in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Saget’s sudden passing attracted major media attention and raised questions due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of the beloved actor, who was said to be ‘happy’ and in good health.

His family then sparked further scrutiny and rumors after Rizzo and Saget’s three daughters filed a lawsuit blocking the release of any records from the medical examiner’s office and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, including photographs, video and audio recordings, and ‘statutorily protected autopsy information’.

Saget’s death was ruled an accident as a result of blunt head trauma believed to have been caused by a fall, however, investigators were not able to determine exactly how he severely fractured his skull.

In recent months fans have raised theories questioning medical conclusions on the death, including baseless claims that the COVID-19 vaccine was a factor.

Asked if she was surprised by the conspiracies dominating the news rather than the tragedy, Rizzo told DailyMail.com: ‘In today’s day and age not really. Nothing is really shocking anymore.’

While the loss ‘still doesn’t make sense’ to her, Rizzo said she does not entertain the conspiracy theories that have emerged.

‘We don’t give it any energy. We cannot give it any energy. It is just ridiculous,’ she said.
