COMEDIAN BOB SAGET DIES AT 65

Bob Saget, the standup comic and actor who was known as Danny Tanner on “Full House,” as the host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and for his deadpan, ribald routines, was found dead on Sunday in Florida. He was 65.

His death was confirmed by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, which said that Mr. Saget was found unresponsive in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes. The cause was not known, but the sheriff’s office said there were no signs of foul play or drug use.

Mr. Saget, who was on tour, had performed on Saturday night at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., southeast of Jacksonville. In a tweet early on Sunday, he thanked the “appreciative audience.”
