Well, it’s not unfair to suspect OD. That’s almost always what “unresponsive in a hotel room” means. We all know this, now the question to me is are the police under any obligation to tell the truth about these things? If there was a pile of fentanyl laced fentanyl under him, they don’t have to say one way or another right? I remember when Trevor Moore died (rip) the cause was so hush it was weirdly suspicious for lack of detail. If iirc it was to the effect of “found dead in his lawn”, the family controlled the messaging and the police said nothing at all.

"unresponsive in a hotel room" is a state. It has zero connection to cause.

  Celebrity unresponsive in a hotel room probably winds up being drug induced more often than not. I'm not saying this is the case here, just pointing out I understand where the parent is coming from.

    It is complicated with Bob Saget, because his reputation was so tied up with irreverence.

Keep your speculation to yourself, it serves no purpose here.

    And basically every reply at the level of the GP was speculation. The post was a bit crass but certainly parallel to the others speculating about a cause of death.

    Depends how you're speculative. From the guidelines: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

  That’s false. Speculation helps to communicate to those who don’t yet know, from life experience, that many “found unresponsive” deaths are actually OD/suicide/suicide-by-bender.

Unfortunately comedians have a pretty long history of drug and alcohol abuse It's not absurd for your mind to wonder in that direction initially
