Tragic news as veteran actor Martin Short postpones his comedy tour following the heartbreaking death of his daughter.
A veteran actor and comedian Martin Short loses his eldest daughter, Katherine Short. The "Only Murders in the Building" star has officially put his upcoming comedy tour with Steve Martin on hold to deal with the devastating loss.
Katherine, aged 42, was reportedly found dead at her Hollywood Hills home on Monday evening.
According to law enforcement sources, her passing resulted from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The news has left both fans and colleagues of the legendary comedian in deep shock.
In a brief but touching statement, a representative for the Short family expressed their profound grief.
They described Katherine as a "beloved" soul who was a source of light and joy to everyone she met. The family has earnestly requested privacy during this incredibly difficult time.
Unlike her famous father, Katherine chose a life of service away from the Hollywood spotlight. She was a dedicated social worker who earned her bachelor’s degree from New York University and later completed her master’s degree at the University of Southern California.
This tragedy marks another painful chapter for Martin Short, who also lost his wife of 30 years, Nancy Dolman, to cancer in 2010.
The tour dates scheduled for Milwaukee and Minneapolis this weekend have been moved. While venues cited "unforeseen circumstances" for the postponement, they confirmed that tickets would be honored for future rescheduled dates.
