US comedian Bob Saget was found dead in a Florida hotel room on January 9, 2022. It has now been revealed that he passed away due to a head trauma.
Bob Saget, the US comedian who delighted millions as the star of television's Full House in the 1980s and 1990s, was found dead in a Florida hotel room on January 9, 2022. He was 65. On February 9, his family revealed the reason of his death and said that he passed away due to head trauma after accidentally hitting his head.
"Bob Saget most likely hit the back of his head and thought nothing of it and went to sleep," his family said in a statement to Reuters. 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. These included being kind to everyone, letting the people you love know you love them, and facing difficult times with hugs and laughter," the family added.
Saget, who was 65, starred as Danny Tanner, the widowed father of three girls, and his efforts to raise them - assisted by his brother-in-law Jesse and friend Joey - formed the heart of the popular Full House sitcom. It ran for eight seasons, from 1987-1995, on ABC. Netflix aired a sequel focusing on one of Danny's daughters, DJ Tanner, which ran from 2016-2020.
Saget, who was also a popular host of America's Funniest Home Videos, had been touring the country before his death. He is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and three children.
