No evidence of drug use or crime in Bob Saget’s death, coroner says

The Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy Monday morning on Bob Saget. According to a statement released by the coroner’s office, there is no evidence of drug use or crime in the death of Saget, who was found dead in an Orlando hotel room on Sunday.

“At this time, there is no evidence of drug use or crime,” Coroner Joshua Stephany said in a statement released to CNN.

According to an incident report released by the Orange County Police Department, family members of the actor contacted security at the Orlando Ritz Carlton Hotel on Sunday when they were unable to contact him, triggering the discovery of the dead actor.

“The cause and manner of death are pending further studies and investigations that could take 10 to 12 weeks to complete,” added the statement released today.

Discovery

After the family called, a member of hotel security was sent to Saget’s room. According to the report, the employee knocked several times and tried to enter. When the hotel’s security team entered, they found all the lights off in the room.

Saget was found in his bed with his left arm across his chest and his right arm propped up on the bed with no signs of trauma, according to the incident report.

According to the report, “Mr. Saget used the room key to enter the room at 2:17 am” on Sunday.

According to the report obtained by CNN, Deputy Adrian Gonzalez responded to a call from the Ritz Carlton hotel in reference to a “Man Down”.

“I received information by dispatch that a man was found unresponsive and not breathing,” Gonzalez said in the report.

According to the report, Orange County Fire Rescue was already at the scene and declared the man dead shortly after the sheriff’s arrival.

The report said the OCFR declared the man, later identified as Bob Saget, dead at 4:18 pm (4:18 pm local time). The crime scene tape was placed, and the sheriff began his investigation, according to the report.

“My BWC (Body Worn Camera) activated as I scanned the immediate area for signs of crime,” Gonzalez said in the report. “It should be noted that none were found.”

“The room itself was decked out with items owned by Mr. Saget on the nightstand, television table, closet and bathroom,” Gonzalez said in the report.

According to the report, Saget was supposed to leave his room on Sunday and his family was unable to find him.

After consulting with his legal team, the hotel’s management was the one who informed the actor’s wife, Kelly Rizzo, by phone about his death.
