MIAMI, United Sates — Bob Saget, the US
comedian who delighted millions as the star of television’s “
Full House” in the
1980s and 1990s, has been found dead in a Florida hotel room, the local sheriff
said Sunday.

“Earlier today, deputies were called to the
Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a
hotel room. The man was identified as Robert Saget & pronounced deceased on
scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case,” the
Orange County Sheriff’s office tweeted from its verified account.
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 recently.
Just hours before his death was announced, he
tweeted to say what fun he had had doing a show in Jacksonville.
“Loved tonight’s show @PV_ConcertHall in
Jacksonville. Appreciative audience. Thanks again to @RealTimWilkins for
opening. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to
this shit. Check BobSaget.com for my dates in 2022,” the actor wrote.
He is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and three
children.
“Bob Saget was a beloved and boundary-pushing comedian.
He’ll be missed,” tweeted the official account for the Comedy Central
television channel.
