https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/09/entertainment/bob-saget-death-full-house/index.html(CNN)Bob Saget, the comedian and actor arguably known best by audiences as wholesome patriarch Danny Tanner on the sitcom "Full House," has died, according to a statement from the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Orlando, Florida.
He was 65.
"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 Sheriff's statement read.
The cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner, the Sheriff's office added.

(46,312 posts)shit state that DeSantis has made it. No testing. Letting a million test kits expire without distribution.
Saget could easily have caught the Virus, had an underlying health condition which was exacerbated by contracting Covid.
Remember when Covid could turn otherwise healthy people into invalids within days in the beginning? Their blood clotted mysteriously and caused strokes and pulmonary embolisms.

(4,767 posts)Faces are a terrible indicator of obesity as we age. He was 65, some if not most of us just get a little more...jowly as time passes by. I'm not much heavier than I was in my 20s, but my face is definitely larger.

(13,615 posts)Looks like he was carrying around some extra pounds to me. Probably needed to lose 20 or 30 lbs.
Very sad. If he had been getting regular screening it might have caught something. I guess we won't know until there is some investigation and results are made public.

(89,289 posts)but it's the usual weight gain that most people have as they get older and most will never be the weight they were when younger .
But he actually looks in decent shape for his age .

(13,615 posts)I didn't say he was obese, just overweight. That extra weight can be the difference in developing coronary disease or having a stroke and not.
People do gain weight as they age and this isn't necessarily a good thing.
I knew Bob when he was a young normal weight guy. He's overweight in these recent pictures.
(And I'm fighting the overweight battle myself.)

(13,535 posts)A sarcasticly friendly term for someone who posts something insinuating that Sagats died bc he was boosted recently.
Dropping that it there with an I heard

Took me down a rabbit hole of watching his comedy. Some of which was absolutely filthy. And hysterical.
RIP, Mr. Tanner.

BREAKING: The Orange County Sheriff's Office just released a report about #BobSaget's death. They say he was due to check out of his hotel room yesterday and his family was not able to get in contact with him. His family contacted security at the hotel.
Security team member checked for breathing and pulse, but none detected. He called 911. Investigators found no signs of foul play. The room was "orderly" with Bob Saget's items on the nightstand, TV stand, closet & bathroom.
Saget's "left arm was across his chest while his right arm was resting on the bed. No signs of trauma were seen."
Left arm across his chest. Could be he was holding his chest when having chest pains. Just a guess.
