Police have reportedly commented on what killed Full House star Bob Saget with a hint coming from how authorities found his body.
Bob Saget may have died from a sudden medical emergency such as a heart attack or stroke, reports claim.
The US Sun reports late actor, who was best known to his role in the 90s sitcom Full House, was discovered unconscious by Ritz-Carlton Orlando hotel security staff on Sunday.
According to TMZ, the comedian was found lying face-up on the bed, with his left arm across his chest, and his right arm lying beside him.
And after he was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities now believe that his cause of his death could be a heart attack, the outlet added.
Police have already ruled out foul play.
The Sheriff’s Department and the fire department first responded to the hotel at around 4pm ET (8am Monday AEDT) on Sunday.
Saget, who had performed a show in Jacksonville the night before, reportedly got into his hotel room at 2:17am.
Investigators say that it showed no indication of a disturbance or issue in the night.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office earlier issued a statement that read: “Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room.
“The man was identified as Robert Saget & pronounced deceased on scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case,” the tweet concluded.
Police are also said to be investigating reports that Saget may have been battling coronavirus in the led up to his death.
And after a preliminary autopsy took place on Monday, the medical examiner’s office said that further studies and investigations into his death “may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete.”
They added that “a follow-up press statement will be released” when the report has been finalised.

“I don’t know what to say,” wrote Candace Cameron Bure, who played DJ Tanner. “I have no words. Bob was one of the best human beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much.”
