Comedian and actor Bob Saget, who was found dead in an Orlando, Florida, hotel room last month at age 65, died from head trauma after accidentally hitting his head, his family said on Wednesday.
Saget, best known as the jovial dad on the television sitcom \u201cFull House,\u201d most likely hit the back of his head and \u201cthought nothing of it and went to sleep,\u201d his family said in a statement to Reuters. No drugs or alcohol were involved.
\u201cAs 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,\u201d the family added.
These included being kind to everyone, letting the people you love know you love them, and facing difficult times with hugs and laughter, they said.
Emergency responders found the actor unresponsive on Jan. 9 in a room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and pronounced him dead at the scene, the Orange County sheriff\u2019s office said at the time. Saget had just started a comedy tour and performed near the city of Jacksonville the night before. In his last Instagram post, he reflected on the \u201creally nice audience\u201d and \u201clots of positivity.\u201d
He wrote, \u201cI guess I\u2019m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it.\u201d Saget played widowed father Danny Tanner on \u201cFull House\u201d from 1987 to 1995, and also on a sequel called \u201cFuller House\u201d from 2016 to 2020. In the show, Tanner shared his home with his three daughters, his brother-in-law and best friend.
The actor also hosted \u201cAmerica\u2019s Funniest Home Videos\u201d from 1989 to 1997. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
