Bob Saget Had Family History of Heart Attacks, Including Dad and Uncles

Bob Saget wouldn’t be the first one in his immediate family to die from a heart attack … it’s what killed 3 of his uncles.

In Bob’s book, “Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian,” he references that 3 of his uncles died from a heart attack between the ages of 37 and 41.

When Bob was 8, his Uncle Ozzie died at 40 from a heart attack while chasing some kids down the block after they stole a tire.

Tragedy struck again the following year … Bob lost his Uncle Manny to a double heart attack.

Then, when Bob was 15, he says his Uncle Sammy died at 37 of a heart attack suffered while playing tennis.

Bob also notes his own dad suffered a massive heart attack when he was a kid … then had another heart attack just 6 months later.

Bob’s family history of heart attacks may be significant … TMZ broke the story, the operating theory is that Bob died in his Orlando hotel room of either a heart attack or a stroke, although the official cause of death won’t be determined for weeks.
