Tributes have poured in for actor and comedian Bob Saget – who has died at the age of 65.
The Full House star was found dead inside a room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Florida on Sunday.
His cause of his death was not made public.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement to E! News: “On 1/9/2022, just after 4 p.m., deputies responded to the 4000 block of Central Florida Parkway (Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes) in response to a man down call.”
“On arrival, they located a man who was unresponsive in a hotel room. The man, identified as Robert Lane Saget, was pronounced deceased on scene. We have no information on cause of death, and detectives have found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.”
“This is all the information we have for release at this time and we do not anticipate further updates. The Medical Examiner’s Office will ultimately determine cause and manner of death.”
Bob, who is best known for playing Danny Tanner on the sitcom Full House, was on a stand-up comedy tour at the time of his death.
The How I Met Your Mother narrator performed at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Florida the night before his death, and posted on Instagram after his gig.
He wrote: “Okay, I loved tonight’s show @pontevedra_concerthall in Jacksonville. Really nice audience. Lots of positivity. Happened last night in Orlando last night at the Hard Rock Live too. Very appreciative and fun audiences.”
Bob continued: “Thanks again to @comediantimwilkins for opening. I had no idea I did a two hour set tonight. I’m back in comedy like I was when I was 26. I guess I’m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it.”
“A’ight, see you in two weeks Jan. 28 & 29 @pbimprov with my brother @therealmikeyoung – And check BobSaget.com for my dates in 2022 – – Goin’ everywhere until I get the special shot. And then probably keep going cause I’m addicted to this s***. Peace out. ✌️”
The actor is survived by his wife of three years, Kelly Rizzo, and his daughters, Lara, Aubrey and Jennifer – who he shared with his ex-wife Sherri Kramer.
Bob’s family told E! News in a statement: “We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today.”
“He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter.”
“Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world.”

Bob Saget was funny and kind, but also, let’s not forgot, for people my age, he was the original Hot Dad. It’s not important but it’s true

Nice guys DO finish first. Beyond his considerable talents, Bob Saget was a kind and gentle presence that always made every one in the room feel at ease. A sweeter man there never was. And a wicked sense of humor that would make you howl with laughter.

I know that people lose loved ones, good people, every day. No one gets a pass. But the loss of Bob Saget hits deep. If you didn’t know him, he was kind and dear and cared about people deeply. He was the definition of “a good egg”. Too soon he leaves. #RipBobSaget
