The man was identified as Robert Saget & declared dead on the spot. Detectives found no signs of criminal act or drug use in this case. #BobSaget “
The medical examiner’s office will ultimately determine the cause and manner of death, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office added in a statement to ET.
Saget was on his “I Don’t Do Negative” stand-up tour of the country and performed at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday.
