His death stunned his global community of fans, not to mention his family who said he was the happiest he had ever been when he died.
He is best known for his role in Full House, where he portrayed widower Danny Tanner who had three daughters including Michelle, played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (pictured with one of them)
A private funeral was held for the late entertainer in Los Angeles, which was attended by his Full House castmates Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweeten, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
It is not clear what he hit his head on, but whatever it was it left a bruise on the back of his head. TMZ reported that authorities think it may have been the headboard of the bed, but cannot say for sure.
His family said he was not aware of it when he went to sleep. 'The authorities have determined that Bob passed away from head trauma.'
'They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep.
'No drugs or alcohol were involved,' the family said in a statement.
A bump to the head can cause two fatal brain injuries; bruising or bleeding, or asphyxiation during unconsciousness. TMZ reports that Saget suffered a brain bleed.
The cause of death was confirmed by a medical examiner in Florida, Joshua Stephany, who said Bob's death was 'the result of blunt head trauma' in a toxicology analysis.
A private funeral was held for the late entertainer in Los Angeles on January 14 2022, which was attended by his Full House castmates Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweeten, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; and friends and colleagues such as Jimmy Kimmel, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and John Mayer.
The Surviving Suburbia actor was father to three daughters from his first marriage to marriage and family therapist Sherri Kramer, 65.
After being single for more than 20 years, he married Rizzo in 2018.
