NEWSBob Saget's Autopsy Completed, The 'Full House' Alum's Cause & Manner Of Death Still Pending Further Investigation
Bob Saget's autopsy has reportedly been completed.
As previously reported by OK!, the 65-year-old was found dead in a hotel room in Florida on Sunday, January 9.
"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," Joshua Stephany, the chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola Counties, said in a press release, per Fox News, on Monday, January 10.
Stephany said Saget's cause and manner of death are pending further investigation, but there was no evidence of drug use or foul play. He added that another press release will be issued when the autopsy report has been finalized, per InTouch Weekly.
"Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget's loved ones during this difficult time," the statement concluded, Fox reported.
The Full House alum performed a stand up show the night before he died. He was reportedly discovered by hotel staff after he missed his checkout time.
The Orange County Sheriff's office released a statement saying Saget was pronounced dead at the scene after he was found unresponsive in his hotel room.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources suspect the Benjamin star may have had a sudden medical emergency, such as a heart attack, due to the position he was found in — and because of the lack of evidence of drug use or foul play.
The well-respected actor was said to have been found lying face-up on the bed with his left arm on his chest and his right hand beside him. The insiders told the outlet that his hand being on his chest could suggest a heart attack.
A final cause of death will not be determined until the medical examiner gets the toxicology results. The Orange County Medical Examiner's Office told the publication it could take approximately 10 to 12 weeks to complete.
