Bob Saget, 65, Of 'Full House,' Was Discovered Dead In A Florida Hotel Room.
Authorities discovered actor and comedian Bob Saget dead in an Orlando, Florida hotel room on Sunday. He was 65 years old at the time.
His death was confirmed by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, which was initially reported by TMZ.
According to the agency, deputies were dispatched to a room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, after receiving a report that someone was unresponsive there.
According to a news statement from the sheriff's office, deputies responded to a "man down call."
The sheriff's office stated, "Detectives have uncovered no signs of foul play or drug use in this case." "This is the most up-to-date information we have at this time, and we do not expect any more updates." The cause and manner of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner's Office."
The sheriff's office stated that Saget, the star of the TV show "Full House," was "declared deceased on scene."
Saget's "I Don't Do Negative Tour" included three dates in Florida this month, including one in Orlando on Friday. On Twitter, he characterized the gig as "an entirely new show of standup and music."
He was known as a comedian's comedian, a rare Hollywood talent who could play a wholesome parent in prime time while also maintaining a stand-up presence by pursuing dark, epithet-laden humor.
According to the 2005 documentary "The Aristocrats," he is credited with one of the filth versions of what is regarded as the world's dirtiest joke.
He talked about his father in a clip from his "That's What I'm Talking About" standup performance in Seattle in 2013, where he said he told him nasty, indecent jokes in public. "I'm 11," he said to his father when he was a kid.
"Full House," which ran from 1987 to 1995, and "America's Funniest Home Videos," which hired him as its inaugural host in 1989, are described in Saget's official bio as "two of the most family-friendly series network TV has ever produced."
