Comedian Bob Saget’s death on January 9 was a shock to fans who loved him as Danny Tanner on “Full House” or for his stand-up comedy, and to those who admired and respected him as a colleague.
Saget's family announced Wednesday that an autopsy revealed his cause of death was accidental head trauma, likely the result of an unwitnessed fall. No illegal drugs or toxins were found in his system.
