The investigation into Bob Saget's cause of death continues
Bob Saget's death felt very abrupt after seeing him on stage just the night before. Even though the cause of death is unclear for now, Joshua Stephany, the chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola Counties, can cross off some options.
"An autopsy was performed this morning on Robert Lane Saget. Mr. Saget is a 65-year-old male, who was found unresponsive in his hotel room," Stephany said in a statement to CNN. "At this time, there is no evidence of drug use or foul play. The cause and manner of death are pending further studies and investigation which may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete," he continued. "Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget's loved ones during this difficult time."
Saget was expected to check out of the Ritz-Carlton on January 8. When Saget's family was unable to reach him, they contacted hotel security. A member of hotel security was sent to Saget's room, and when they entered, they found all the lights off in the room, per a separate CNN report. Saget was found in his bed with his left arm across his chest and his right arm resting on the bed with no signs of trauma, according to the incident report.
