Not only was he allegedly found "tucked" into bed, but he also reportedly had his left arm across his chest with his right one by his side. While Saget had recently suffered from COVID-19, those close to him said he had recovered just fine.
He appeared jolly and in great health on Saturday at his stand-up show just hours before he unexpectedly passed away. As RadarOnline.com reported, Saget joked about death during his final comedy show.
Michelle Johnson, who was in the audience that night, recalled the jokes that now seemed "eerie" following his death. According to her, Saget focused on what he called “long-lost comedians.” He also talked about “dealing with death" in the Hollywood comedy scene.
Saget was only 65 years old. He leaves behind his wife, three adult children, and a legacy that will last a lifetime.
