Bob Saget Predicted His Death? Late Actor's Last Words About COVID-19 Diagnosis Reemerged
Bob Saget bravely opened up about his COVID-19 in a podcast, seemingly predicting he might die because of it.
Saget left the whole world in shock after his family confirmed his untimely death this week. In a statement to CNN, the actor's loved ones said he died on Sunday before asking everyone to grant them privacy amid trying times.
"He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter," the statement said.
Saget was found lifeless in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes. While the cause of his death remains unknown, he eerily said he might die because of COVID-19.
A week before his death, he sat down for an interview on the podcast, "A Corporate Time with Tom & Dan," and revealed that he was previously diagnosed with the dreaded virus. He did not confirm the exact date, but he hinted it only happened recently.
For the last time, he unleashed his comedic side and debated whether he had the omicron or delta variant. He also talked about his friend, Norm Macdonald, who died last year due to cancer. He said that Macdonald handled his health issue with dignity by keeping it a secret from almost everyone.
A news outlet noted that he sounded ill during his podcast interview, and the hosts themselves talked about it soon after dropping his phone.
