A final police report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office did not provide conclusive reasoning for Bob Saget's fatal head injury, but it did highlight new findings.

The report, which was obtained by People on Tuesday, cited a January autopsy conducted by Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany, M.D. that revealed the late actor suffered from skull fractures, brain injuries, abrasions and blood buildup all within his skull and scalp. The autopsy findings specifically noted that "the amount of force necessary to cause the fracture, coupled with the fact that the skin on the back of the head was still intact, led him [Stephany] to believe that the injury was most likely caused by 'something hard, covered by something soft.'"
