It aired between 2016 and 2020, and he passed away two years later, on January 9, 2022. What happened to him?

Nobody was aware of the cause of Bob Saget's demise until his family made the revelation one month later in a statement they made to PEOPLE.

The tragedy happened in room 962 at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes in Florida. According to eyewitnesses, nobody could have guessed it would happen because he had been bouncing about spreading positive energy in the hotel lobby a couple of days before.

He was found dead in his bed on January 9, 2022, prompting speculations on what could have suddenly ended his life.

Things got even more unusual when the Chief Medical Examiner, Joshua Stephany, revealed that the actor had succumbed to a wound obtained from blunt trauma to the head.

In the statement they made to People, the Saget family revealed the conclusion that he mistakenly hit the back of his head on something but had not thought much of it before going to bed.

They also alleged that no drugs or alcohol was involved and acknowledged the outpour of love from his fans since the news went live.

The statement ended with the Saget family urging his fans to remember the lessons he imparted while alive, "to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter."

Besides Rizzo, Bob Saget was survived by his three children, all daughters he welcomed while he was married to his first wife, Sherri.

The first two girls, Aubrey and Lara, were twins they welcomed in 1987, and the pair grew up to become artists.

The late actor's third daughter was named Jennifer, born in November 1992. Of all three, she is the most private with her lifestyle, but she also has her roots in the arts.
