Bob Saget was found dead at 65

Bob Saget, famously known for portraying Danny Tanner in the sitcom Full House and hosting America's Funniest Home Videos, reportedly died in his sleep in his hotel room in January 2022. His death came in the middle of his I Don't Do Negative comedy tour. The comedian had performed on stage just hours before he died.

According to People Magazine, his autopsy report concluded his death was an accident. The actor had sustained fractures in the back of his head and around his eyes, most likely due to a fall. The actor was 65 when he died.

Authorities speculated that Saget took a fall in the bathroom after losing consciousness, hitting his head on the marble flooring. They continued that he most likely regained consciousness, stumbled to his bed, and passed out again, dying in his sleep.

The actor also tested positive for COVID-19 at the time of his death, and the autopsy found traces of clonazepam in his system, used to treat panic disorders, seizures, and anxiety. Saget's family confirmed in a statement to People Magazine that "no drugs or alcohol" were involved.

“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,” the statement read.
