Bob Saget didn't suffer before his untimely death, according to a new report.
TMZ said the "Fuller House" star was "tucked in bed" when his body was discovered in his room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Florida, on Jan. 9. The room lights were off and all indications point to Bob dying in his sleep.

Although the official cause of death won't be known for several months, the working theory is that the actor died of a stroke or heart attack.
Bob, the report said, had spoken to his wife, Kelly Rizzo, on the phone before going to bed. Kelly supposedly grew concerned when she hadn't heard from him the next day, especially given the fact he was supposed to fly back to Los Angeles in the afternoon. Kelly eventually called the hotel to have security check on her husband. That's when hotel security entered the room and found the former "America's Funniest Home Videos" host's body in bed.
Bob had recently gotten over COVID, but that's not believed to have contributed to his death.
In fact, the actor had done a standup comedy gig in Jacksonville, Florida, the night before his death, and audience members said he seemed normal. Bob even tweeted about the show from the stage the day of his death.
"Loved tonight's show @PV_ConcertHall in Jacksonville. Appreciative audience," he captioned a selfie late Saturday night.
After Bob's death, many in Hollywood publicly mourned him on social media.
"We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today. He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter," the Saget family said in a statement. "Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world."
