Comedian and actor Bob Saget died as a result of head trauma, his family revealed in a statement to multiple outlets on Wednesday.
Authorities "concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep," the statement said, according to CNN.
It was also determined that drugs and alcohol were not factors in his death.

"Now that we have the final conclusions from the authorities' investigation, we felt it only proper that the fans hear those conclusions directly from us," the family's statement said.
The 65-year-old "Full House" star was found deceased in an Orlando hotel last month while on a stand-up comedy tour. Last month, his wife, Kelly Rizzo, told "Good Morning America" that Saget had been in good health prior to his death.
An autopsy completed the day after Saget's death found no signs of foul play.
The family thanked Saget's fans for their continued support throughout their grieving process.
"As we continue to mourn together, we ask everyone to remember the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world, and the lessons he taught us all: to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter," they wrote.
