In a statement shared on Twitter, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said that detectives had found no signs of foul play or drug use during initial enquiries.
They said he had been found unresponsive in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida on Sunday.
“We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today,” his family said in a statement.
