Martin Short's Daughter Katherine Dies at 42

Martin Short‘s daughter Katherine has died at the age of 42.

TMZ was the first to report the news on Tuesday, Feb. 24. According to the outlet, who spoke to law enforcement, Katherine died by suicide.

The Los Angeles Police Department and the fire department reportedly responded to her Hollywood Hills, Calif. home in the early morning hours of Monday, Feb. 23 where she was found deceased.

Katherine, who worked as a social worker in Los Angeles, was the eldest daughter of Short and his late wife, actress Nancy Dolman, who died of ovarian cancer in 2010.

Short and Dolman adopted Katherine shortly after her birth in December 1983 before later adopting sons Oliver and Henry.

According to People, Katherine worked in private practice as a licensed clinical social worker and worked part-time at the clinic Amae Health providing community outreach, family support groups, peer support and psychotherapy. 

She also worked with Glenn Close‘s charity Bring Change 2 Mind, which focuses on reducing stigma around mental health issues.

Throughout the years, Katherine mainly stayed out of the public eye—opting to attend a few events with her father over the years.
