Actor and comedian Bob Saget died of head trauma, according to his family. CNN reports the family released a statement:
“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,” the statement said. “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,” the statement added.
The New York Times adds that Saget was found unresponsive in his Orlando hotel room on January 9th.
Mr. Saget, who was on tour at the time, had performed on Jan. 8 at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., southeast of Jacksonville. In a tweet early on Jan. 9, he thanked the “appreciative audience.”
