    Holy shit. Loved him in Full House, loved him in How I Met Your Mother, loved his surprisingly raunch stand up comedy. I never feel anything when celebrities die. That seems to be an exception. I guess I just loved the guy. To me he's like the soul of the 90s.

    Bob Saget Apparently Died in His Sleep Without Suffering
    so you don't have to visit TMZ \/

    Sources familiar with the investigation tell TMZ ... Bob was "tucked in bed" when his body was discovered Sunday at around 4 PM ET. As we reported, the lights were off in his room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando.

    We're told Bob had called his wife before going to bed and also tweeted how happy he was to be back on stage.

    We're told as the day wore on, from morning to afternoon, his wife became concerned because Bob was supposed to be on a flight returning to L.A., and when she couldn't reach him she called the hotel. That's when security entered his room and discovered his body.

    As we reported, although the official cause of death won't be known for 10 to 12 weeks, the operating theory is that he suffered either a stroke or a heart attack.

    He had just gotten over COVID, we're told, but people close to him say he seemed fine in the days before he died.

      Update: Bob Saget died from head trauma, family says

      Bob Saget, who was found dead in his Orlando, Florida hotel room last month, died from the result of a head trauma, according to a statement from his family.

      "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."

      An autopsy was completed on Saget by the Orange County Medical Examiner in Florida the day after he died.

      "At this time, there is no evidence of drug use or foul play," Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany said in a statement to CNN at the time. "The cause and manner of death are pending further studies and investigation which may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete."

      The Orange County Sheriff's Office released a death investigation report, obtained by CNN, which stated they found no signs of foul play in the "orderly" hotel room.

        Absolutely tragic, but not a bad way to go, all things considered. RIP Bob.

    The article makes it sound like it could be suicide but he was in the middle of a tour so it seems somewhat unlikely: https://twitter.com/bobsaget
