Bob Saget’s family has been given a permanent injunction to block the release of records linked to his death.
The actor passed away on January 9, at the age of 65, and his family has now been granted a permanent injunction by Ninth Judicial Circuit Judge Vincent Chiu.
In a statement obtained by People, Brian Bieber – the Saget family’s attorney – explained: “The entire Saget family is grateful that the judge granted their request for an injunction to preserve Bob’s dignity, as well as their privacy rights, especially after suffering this unexpected and tragic loss.”
The ‘Full House’ star was found dead in his Florida hotel room in January and his family previously said that he died from head trauma.
Following his death, Kelly Rizzo, the actor’s widow, and their three daughters – Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer Saget – launched legal action against Orange County Sheriff John Mina and the District Nine Medical Examiner’s Office in a bid to stop photographs or videos related to the investigation from being released.
Attorneys representing the family claimed they would “suffer irreparable harm in the form of extreme mental pain, anguish, and emotional distress” if the records were made public.
Bieber said at the time: “In order to protect the Saget family’s privacy, today on their behalf, I filed for an injunction to prevent the disclosure of any photographs or videos of Mr. Saget made by the authorities during their investigation.”
The attorney accepted that the “facts of the investigation should be made public”. However, he called for any materials collected during the investigation to “remain private out of respect for the dignity of Mr. Saget and his family”.
He added: “It’s very simple – from a human and legal standpoint – the Saget family’s privacy rights outweigh any public interest in disclosure of this sensitive information.”
(I think this is the end of the line for this story. Are you convinced all relevant facts have been disclosed?)

Shane Warne has died at the age of 52.
The Australian cricket legend has tragically passed away in Koh Samui, Thailand, following a suspected heart attack.
A statement released from Warne’s family said: “Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived.
“The family request privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”
Warne represented Australia between 1992 and 2007 and is widely regarded as one of the sport’s greatest bowlers having taken 708 test wickets – the most by an Australian player and only behind Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan on the all-time list.
The sports star helped his country win the Cricket World Cup in 1999 and was also part of five Ashes-winning sides.
As well as his international career, Warne played domestic cricket for his home state of Victoria and also represented Hampshire in the county game for England.
Following his retirement from cricket in 2007, Warne moved into TV punditry and featured on Australia’s Nine Network and on Sky Sports in the UK.
His career was blighted by scandals away from the field including marital infidelities and a ban from cricket for testing positive for a banned substance.
Shane leaves behind three children – daughters Brooke, 24, and Summer, 20, and son Jackson 22, who he shares with his ex-wife Simone Callahan.
The cricket legend was also engaged to English actress Liz Hurley between 2010 and 2013.

When Bob Saget checked into room 962 at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes in Florida on Jan. 7, the 65-year-old comedian seemed to have the vitality of a man half his age.
“He was cracking jokes, waving to people in the lobby,” a hotel employee tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “When people asked for selfies, he would run over and grab their phones to take the pictures with them, joking the whole time. He was a ball happy, positive energy.”
But by the time the weekend was over, Saget was found dead in his hotel room bed on Jan. 9, raising many questions on how the beloved actor could have died so suddenly.
The mystery deepened when Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany, MD later revealed in the autopsy that Saget’s death was “the result of blunt head trauma,” ruling the manner of his passing an accident not tied to any illicit drugs or toxins. Additionally, the comedian’s autopsy indicated he had severe fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes when he died.
PEOPLE spoke with several involved in the investigation of Saget’s death. “It’s definitely an unusual case,” an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy says. “There are still a lot of unanswered questions.”
The last time Saget was caught on surveillance video, he was seen exiting the elevator of the ninth floor and walking down the long hallway towards his room. Authorities who have seen the footage tell PEOPLE that nothing seemed out of the ordinary: Saget showed no sign of distress.
Using his key card, Saget entered his room at 2:17 a.m., hanging a “Do Not Disturb” placard on his doorknob and locking the door from the inside. The door didn’t open again until the following afternoon when hotel security found him dead.
Now, investigators have pieced together a theory of how Saget died.
Authorities checked the marble end tables and counters in the bathroom, but found no traces of blood or hair. Now, they believe that Saget lost consciousness in the bathroom and fell backward onto the marble floor, striking his head.
Police believe that a groggy Saget regained consciousness and stumbled into bed, where he again lost consciousness and died. His time of death was estimated to be around 4:00 am, approximately 12 hours before his body was found.
As police move towards closing the investigation into Saget’s death, those close to the actor are choosing to focus on the fond memories they had with him.
“We all want to keep Bob’s legacy alive,” his Full House costar Candace Cameron Bure tells PEOPLE. “I want to share things about Bob and share about the laughs and the good times. That part feels comforting.”
