ORLANDO, Fla. The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed the death of actor and comedian Bob Saget on Sunday.
Saget was 65 years old.
In a tweet, the sheriff's office said deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando "for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room."
The sheriff's office identified the man as Robert Saget, pronouncing him dead at the scene.
According to the tweet, detectives said they found no signs of foul play or drug use.
Wow
Yeah, wow.
He was surprisingly filthy on stage, but very funny. 
In reply to Woody (Forum Supportum) :
I think his family friendly material is more surprising than his vulgar material, once you hear the stand up. He's with Pam Tanner now.
Man... this sucks. I grew up on a steady diet of both Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, because what 80's/90's kid didn't? And then finding out later that America's Dad was a filthy, funny-as-berk stand-up comic? That blew my mind! Funny dude, whether he was doing the wholesome dad thing or his adult stand-up.
He was also a great interview, too. He used to stop by one of the local Boston radio morning shows every time he was up this way, and it was appointment listening. They were just talking about this tour he kicked off today last week on that show, and how they were looking forward to him stopping by.
RIP.
Watching the reaction unsuspecting people had at his shows was almost as funny as his act.
I can't believe Artie Lange outlived Bob Saget. RIP funny man.

The lord works in mysterious ways
Huge, huge bummer. I hadn't ever been able to see him live. I had 5 tickets for one his shows here in OKC for family and friends.
RIP
What the funk.
Him and Norm Macdonald are cruising somewhere in a '61 Olds.

Can you imagine the Aristocrats to come out of that trip?
Bob Saget was a comedy treasure. He will be missed. RIP.
This interaction between Bob Saget and Norm Macdonald (also RIP) still cracks me up. Bob trying to tell a legitimately touching store and Norm ruins it. The look on Bob's face is priceless.

Bob did outlive Artie's nose cartilage though. Don't do drugs in industrial quantities kids.
I am gutted he was so funny live. Just saw him last year.
Bob Saget Tells Possibly the Filthiest Joke in History
"The story involves diarrhea, pedophilia, fisting, and rounds upon round of singing “Make ‘Em Laugh” while running up walls “like Fred Astaire.” Transcribing all Saget’s turns of phrase simply does not do his telling of the joke justice. By the time he’s done, he can’t even tell the punchline, which makes it all even funnier."
I had only ever seen him hosting America's Funniest and on Full House, naturally I assumed he was simply the least funny comedian since Billy Crystal.
Apparently I was mistaken.

Me too, although I did figure it out a little while ago.

"The cause and manner of death are pending further studies and investigation which may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete," Stephany says. "Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget's loved ones during this difficult time."
According to a report released by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Saget was discovered by hotel security on Sunday afternoon after his family requested a wellness check. The comedian was found deceased "in a supine position on his bed." The supine position means lying horizontally with the face and torso facing up.
"I checked the immediate area for signs of foul play. It should be noted none were found. The room itself was orderly with items owned by Mr. Saget on the nightstand, television stand, closet and bathroom," the report reads, with the responding officer stating "no signs of trauma were seen."
Medications were present, according to the report, and it's noted Saget's medical history is unknown. Police say no drugs were found.
Saget was staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. The comedian was on tour and performed a two-hour standup set the night before his death. He used his room key to enter his hotel room at 2:17 a.m. early on Sunday morning, the incident report reveals.
"Family members" contacted hotel security to check on his well-being and "several attempts" were made to open the door after check out time, the report says. When security entered the room all the lights were off. The person checked to see if Saget was breathing, but he was "cold to the touch." Security called 911.
"We have an unresponsive guest in a room," someone from the hotel says, according to the 911 call obtained by Yahoo Entertainment. The man says the guest is "not responsive, not breathing" and had "no pulse."
Saget was declared dead at 4:18 p.m. local time. Hotel management informed Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, of his passing. Homicide was notified, which is standard process. "All deaths, whether they are natural, suicide, overdose or homicide are always looked at by the homicide unit," police clarified on Monday.
The Orange and Osceola Counties Medical Examiner's Office will determine cause of death.
