Here's What The Chief Medical Examiner Has To Say About Bob Saget's Autopsy
Everyone knows him as their beloved Danny Tanner, but Bob Saget lived a life full of experiences outside of "Full House" — and now we have new updates regarding Saget's autopsy. Saget was touring when he died, and he was found deceased in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Florida (via The New York Times). Upon his death, fans found Saget's last social media message heartbreaking, and the actor's final interview has been devastating, too.
Saget died on Sunday, January 9, and his cause of death has remained unknown. Unfortunately to the public at least, this is still the case despite his autopsy being completed, per People. However, this isn't stopping people from spreading love for the late actor-comedian. Despite staying private since her college admissions scandal, Lori Loughlin publicly responded to Saget's death on January 10 (via Entertainment Tonight), and even Pete Davidson shared a message about mental health in relation to Saget.
Still, while his cause of death remains unknown, enlightening insights did come from Saget's autopsy.
No drugs or signs of struggle were found on the scene
Bob Saget died a legend, and his autopsy shows that the actor and comedian allegedly didn't die under questionable circumstances. According to Good Morning America, there was "no evidence of drug use or foul play" present in or on Saget's body during the autopsy. This was revealed on January 10 by Joshua Stephany, the chief medical examiner for Orange and Osceola counties in Florida.
"The cause and manner of death are pending further studies and investigation which may take up to 10 to 12 weeks to complete," Stephany said (via People). "Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget's loved ones during this difficult time." Saget was immediately pronounced dead upon officials' arrival to the hotel on Sunday. Good Morning America notes that foul play and drug use were also not discovered at the hotel, so nowhere in the case do these matters arise.
Saget's family ultimately offered a statement to People which, in part, says, "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."
For now, Saget's family and fans can only wait until the investigation into his death is complete, which may take up to three months, per the chief medical examiner.
