The statement has subsequently revealed that Saget died from an accidental blow to the head: "The authorities have determined that Bob passed 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."
They added they had been comforted by the “outpouring of love from Bob's fans."
