American actor, comedian and presenter Bob Saget, known for his role as loving single father Danny Tanner in the sitcom Full House and as a wise host for America’s Funniest Home Videos, has died. He was 65 years old. The information was provided by the AP agency.
According to a sheriff’s statement on Twitter, Saget was found Sunday in a room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Florida. Sheriff’s deputies in Orange County were called there because of a “unresponsive man” in a hotel room. Detectives found “no signs of crime or drug use in this case.”
Saget was in Florida as part of his I Don’t Do Negative Comedy Tour. After a warm reception, the audience celebrated online at their performances on Friday in Orlando and on Saturday in the Ponte Vedra Beach recreation area. “I’m back in comedy, like when I was 26. I think I find my new voice and I love every moment of it,” he wrote on Instagram on Saturday.
Saget’s acquaintances and colleagues were shocked by his death. “I don’t know what to say. I have no words. Bob was one of the best human beings I’ve ever known. I loved him so much,” Candace Cameron Bure, who played Saget’s daughter on Full House, told Twitter. His acting colleague Jim Carrey stated that Saget had a big, big heart and a beautifully crooked mind.
In a statement on Sunday, members of Saget’s family said they were “overwhelmed to confirm that our beloved Bob had died today … which Bob brought to the world. “
