"We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us, but we know he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has. We are thinking of his daughters," they said.
Bob Saget's death remains under investigation. The Orange County Sheriff's Office reported that detectives at the scene "found no signs of drug use in this case."
