New details surrounding beloved actor and comedian Bob Saget's death have emerged.
Over the weekend, the star of the sitcom Full House was found dead in his hotel room at Florida's Ritz-Carlton just two hours after his stand-up show. He was 65.
Per BBC News, the exact details surrounding his death remain unclear. But in a short statement posted to Twitter, the Sheriff's Department said that detectives had found no signs of foul play or drug use during initial inquiries.
The 911 call for Saget's death shows that a hotel security team member placed the call after finding Saget unresponsive in his hotel room on Sunday afternoon.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office released the call on Monday afternoon.
A spokesperson for the sheriff's office told Fox News that deputies responded to a call at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando just after 4 PM on Sunday and found Saget unresponsive in a hotel room, and he was pronounced dead on the scene.
The Orange County Fire Rescue Department also responded to the call. "We have an unresponsive guest in a room," the individual can be heard saying on the 911 call.
The individual noted that Saget was "not responding, not breathing, and no pulse."
An incident report, also released by the sheriff's office, states that Saget was found by officers in a "supine position on his bed," and noted that no signs of trauma were seen.
"His left arm was across his chest while his right arm was resting on the bed," the report said. The hotel security team member told officers that Saget was "cold to the touch, yellow and clammy."
The hotel employee entered the room after knocking several times. The report also noted that Saget's check-out date at the hotel was on Sunday, and his family was unable to contact him.
According to the report, hotel management notified Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, of his death. The Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death, according to a spokesperson from the sheriff's office.
Saget was touring the state and last performed on Saturday, January 8, in Jacksonville. He was set to be touring his stand-up show until May.
