In a statement, Saget's family said that authorities concluded that "he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep."
The 65-year-old Full House star was found unresponsive on January 9 in a room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, local police said. He had performed the night before at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Palm Valley, Florida.
Bob Saget’s family has released a statement confirming that the comic actor died from head trauma.
Here is the family’s statement:
“In the weeks since Bob’s passing, we have been overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of love from Bob’s fans, which has been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful.
Now that we have the final conclusions from the authorities’ investigation, we felt it only proper that the fans hear those conclusions directly from us.
The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma. 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."
“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.”
