“The facts of the investigation must be made public, but this material must be kept confidential out of respect for the dignity of Mr. Saget and his family,” the family’s attorney told CNN on Wednesday. This is sensitive information.”

Among the family’s concerns is that “some news and media outlets have made or plan to submit public records requests” for exact details of Saget’s death.
