THE family of a well-known American actor and comedian, Bob Saget, has revealed, that he died of an accidental blow to the head.
According to the statement, the Full House star “accidently banged the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it, and went to sleep.”
And reports from the authorities had revealed that narcotics and alcohol were not factors in his death.
Last month, Saget, 65, was discovered dead in his hotel room at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, Florida.
“We have been overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of love from Bob’s fans in the weeks since Bob’s passing, which has been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful,” the family statement read.
“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.”
Saget had three daughters from a previous marriage and had been married to Kelly Rizzo Saget since 2018.
He was found unresponsive by hotel workers in his bed on the evening of 9 January and was later pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Authorities said at the time that the death of the Philadelphia native was not being investigated as suspicious.
His funeral, which was attended by a slew of celebrities, took place in California last month.
Saget, a veteran stand-up comedian, had just begun a new tour across the United States, performing in Jacksonville, Florida the day before his death.
Although many comedians admired him for his profane and often cutting act, he was best known in the United States for his role in the heartwarming sitcom Full House, in which he co-starred with John Stamos and fellow comic Dave Coulier.
In recent years, he has gained popularity among younger generations as the narrator of the television show How I Met Your Mother and for his guest appearances on the TV series Entourage as a highly fictionalized version of himself.
