Default Bob Saget Passes Away

That seems really unexpected, drugs and foul play not suspected. He passed away in a hotel room.

With those two out of play, suicide is the likely option.

Isn't "foul play" usually the code they use for suicide until things are confirmed?

That sucks… 65 and years of drug use, could have easily just been a jammer, hope it wasn’t suicide. ��

Or maybe something health related and he just died in his sleep.

Yeah, it’s not as though people in their mid-60s don’t die of natural causes. Heart attack would seem more likely than suicide.

Life expectancy for an American male is 79... so no it's not "young" but it's still too early.

I know I want my relatives- and myself- to live well past 65.

Edit- 79 is from 2019, with covid now it was only 75 for 2020.

Especially considering his past heavy drug use issues. You can be clean for years, but if you did enough damage while using then it's going to catch up sooner or later

I doubt it. You'd be just as correct to say having a filthy mouth likely did it.

he was 65. probably just had a heart attack.

Not like he never did any hard drugs over the years.

But it's an average, Betty white was 99, Poitier was 94, Bob was just evening it out

No official cause of death, but I read that it appeared he died in his sleep. Could be a number of causes for that, but if you are going to go, that is the best way.

I also just saw that he is going to be starring in a comedy that is coming out soon. It looks low-budget, but there are some pretty funny people in it besides him, like Mary Lynn Rajskub (Gail the Snail from It's Always Sunny) and Jason Jones (The Daily Show). It's directed by Jeremy LaLonde who is known from some pretty absurd kind of comedy.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it. It's called Killing Daniel.

This is rumored to be the cause of many surprisingly early celebrity deaths such as Carrie Fisher.

Cocaine in the 80s = early death due to early heart failure.
