(CNN) Bob Saget, who was found dead in his Orlando, Florida hotel room last month, died from the result of a head trauma, according to a statement from his family.

"The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma. They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep," the statement said. "No drugs or alcohol were involved."

The family added that they have been "overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of love from Bob's fans, which has been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful."

"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," the statement added.

The "Fuller House" star, 65, had been on comedy tour at the time of 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 added."

This was really nice.

Head injuries are crazy. My mom slipped or tripped at the beginning of January, and she knocked herself out. Sometime later, she got up and went to shower to clean herself up. My dad woke up to the noise of the shower and went to investigate. He ended up rushing her to the hospital.

She had a massive brain bleed that would have killed her if my dad didn't wake up.

My mom is better now. She surprisingly didn't have much neurological damage besides some word retrieval issues.
