Bob Saget Died From Head Trauma In Florida Hotel, Family Says
Authorities determined that comedian and actor Bob Saget died from an accidental blow to the head while in Florida, his family confirmed.
ORLANDO, FL — Comedian and "Full House" star Bob Saget, 65, died from an accidental blow to the head, his family said Wednesday.
Earlier reports had originally speculated he may have died from a stroke or heart attack, or COVID-19, which he said he had in December. However, family members officially confirmed that was not the case.
“The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma," the Saget family said in a statement reported by multiple news outlets, including CNN. "They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved.”
In the statement, the family said it has been overwhelmed with "the incredible outpouring of love from Bob’s fans" and were comforted by it.
"As we continue to mourn together, we ask everyone to remember the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world, and the lessons he taught us all: to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter," the family also said in the statement
Saget was found dead Jan. 9 in his hotel room at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and authorities determined that no foul play was involved.
TMZ reported authorities don't know what Saget struck his head on, possibly the bed's headboard, but there was a bruise on the back of his head. He went to sleep and never woke up.
Saget had performed in the area the night before in Jacksonville as part of his stand-up tour, "I Don't Do Negative."
Early on Jan. 9, Saget posted a selfie with the tweet, thanking the appreciative audience.
Saget was best known for his role as beloved single dad Danny Tanner on the sitcom “Full House” and as the wisecracking host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”
He is survived by a wife and three daughters from a previous marriage.
