"Full House" actor Bob Saget died of a brain hemorrhage after suffering an unspecified head trauma on January 9, sources told TMZ.

According to the sources, Bob Saget hit his head with an unknown object after checking into his room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Orlando. Without knowing the extent of the blow, he fell asleep.

"He died of cerebral hemorrhage... there was a bruise on the back of his head," the source said.

The actor's family confirmed to Lauren Peikoff, producer of Stephanie Ruehle Reports on MSNBC, that authorities had concluded their investigation of the death of the famed comedian.

"In the weeks following Bob's passing, we have been overwhelmed by the incredible outpouring of love from Bob's fans, which has been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful," they say. "Now that we have the final conclusions of the authorities' investigation, we felt it was appropriate for fans to hear those conclusions directly from us."

"Authorities have determined that Bob passed away from head trauma. They concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, didn't think about it, and went to sleep. There were no drugs or alcohol involved," they concluded.

The family asked fans to always remember Saget, who left a great legacy with love and laughter: "Be kind to everyone, let the people you love know you love them, and face the hard times with hugs and laughter."

Bob Saget was found dead in the Orlando hotel on Sunday, January 9. The Sheriff's Office indicated that the actor was face up in bed with no apparent signs of trauma.
