Bob Saget was found dead by hotel housekeeping on Sunday after he missed his checkout time, a source from the hotel tells PEOPLE.

The beloved Full House star, 65, died at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando following a performance outside of Jacksonville, Fla., on Saturday night. TMZ was first to break the news.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed Saget's death after deputies were called just after 4 p.m. local time. "Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room. The man was identified as Robert Saget and pronounced deceased on scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case," the office wrote on Twitter.

The source tells PEOPLE that Saget stayed at the hotel for a couple of days and arranged to have a late check out at 3 p.m. An hour after he missed the checkout, housekeeping went to his room and found him unresponsive in bed.

The source adds that the room was neat, with no signs of trauma, and Saget's bags were packed by the door.

The housekeeping manager tried to perform CPR on him after calling 911, but paramedics pronounced him dead on the scene once they arrived, the insider says. About two and half hours later, the coroner took Saget's body to the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office. The Sheriff's Office then began their investigation and contacted Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo.
