      So sad. He lost his wife and now his daughter. So sad. This breaks my heart.

      Fuck TMZ, skip the click:

      Martin Short’s daughter, Katherine, has taken her own life … TMZ has learned.

      The 42-year-old died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

      LAPD and the fire department responded to her Hollywood Hills home Monday, shortly after 6:40 PM PT, where she was found deceased.

      Katherine — the adopted daughter of Short and Nancy Dolman, his wife of 30 years who passed away in 2010 — worked as a social worker in Los Angeles after receiving her bachelor’s degree from NYU and her master’s in social work from USC several years later.

      Katherine was involved in a charity called Bring Change 2 Mind, which worked to break down stigmas connected to mental health issues.

      While her father is obviously very famous, Katherine mostly stayed out of the public eye … attending a few events with her father throughout the years. She is the eldest of Short’s three children.

      We last saw Katherine in January 2020 outside Craig’s … a world-famous restaurant in West Hollywood.

      Short has a sold-out show with Steve Martin scheduled for Saturday in Minneapolis … it’s unclear at this time if he will perform.

      If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.

      Lost a brother and both his parents before he was 20. Lost his wife 15 years ago. Just lost his good friend a few weeks ago. I can’t imagine.

      Horrible. The article states she worked as a social worker, which is just brutal for anyone’s mental health.

    13. BananasPineapple05 on

      I looked into it briefly and found out she was a social worker.

      I refuse to speculate on the whys and wherefores. I just brought that up because she was clearly one of the good ones. How horrendous for everyone who knew her.

      My god. I hope the man has a solid support system. All his losses would emotionally bankrupt me. How horrible.

      Not that it matters, but I’m supposed to see him and Steve Martin this weekend… wonder if it will happen or if it does if it’ll be off. So sorry for the whole family.

      Oh man that’s terrible news. What an amazing career to devote yourself to, Social work and mental health advocacy, despite her personal struggles could not have been easy. I hope her loved ones are able to come together and comfort one another. I also can’t help but feel especially bad for Martin Short for losing a wife in 2010 and now a daughter is like the 2 worst nightmares a person can have. I wish them all the best .

      Losing a loved one is always tragic, but losing a child is a feeling I wouldn’t wish on almost anyone.

      Sincere condolences.

      2026 has been filled with such immense loss. My god. My heart goes out to him.

    20. Happy-Medicine-3600 on

      This is so sad, don’t know the right words, sorry for his loss.

      Horrible. I’ve known a few social workers throughout my career who have completed suicide. I couldn’t speculate there was any correlation, but social services takes such a huge toll on your mental health as it is + if you’re already someone who struggles with your own. RIP Katherine and support to her family and all who knew her.

      I once delivered a holiday thank you basket to Martin Short’s house when I was a teenage production assistant years ago.

      Of all the celebrities I had to deliver baskets to that day, not only was he the only one who answered the door himself (not a housekeeper or assistant), but he actually opened the door barefoot in his boxers and a t shirt with a cup of coffee and sat down to chat on his front porch for a few minutes.

      My boss always said he was her favorite human in the biz – and he proved it by just caring (or dgafing depending how u see it) to ask me what my name was and where I was headed next.

      It’s heartbreaking to think that even with the most caring father, when the pain of living surpasses the fear of dying, there’s nothing anyone can do.

      My heart goes out to Martin and his family, I’m sure he knows laughter is the surest cure for grief.

      So tragic… 2026 is not being kind to celebrities. It’s only February. 😔

    30. Spiritual-Tadpole376 on

      There’s been so many suicides this year, celebrities and in my life ☹️

    31. Narrow-Accident-1136 on

      As a father of a mentally/ emotionally troubled young woman, this is my greatest fear. I’m so sad for him and his loss

    32. imgprocess on

      Holy shit, how devastating… my heart is so broken for Martin.. unimaginable loss. Going to hold my kids extra close tonight. 💔

    33. FlimsyConclusion on

      For a person who brings so much joy to the world, it’s painful to see so much tragedy within his family.

      Wishing him and his family peace during this time.

      RIP Katherine.

      He’s beloved among comedians. Norm Macdonald said he’s the single funniest person to be around socially. So sad that he’s experienced so much tragedy

      Robert Carradine also died by suicide yesterday

      so many people fighting a battle that plenty of others don’t realize or understand. And you can’t say ‚they’d never do that‘. They put on an ‚everything is fine‘ face when they’re around others, but when they are alone they are fighting demons no one knows about

      After watching that documentary on Gabriel Fernandez I can imagine how horrible it is to be a social worker in LA. So sad for her and her father.

    37. rayray2k19 on

      Man you hate to hear that. I am a social worker and it’s not uncommon to lose peers in this way.

    39. Open_Mortgage_4645 on

      God damn… I feel so bad for Martin. His life has been upended by tragedy, first his wife, now his daughter. I hope his friends are surrounding him, protecting him, and helping him navigate this awful situation.

      Sending my condolences and healing to the Short’s and everyone who new her 🕊️

    42. cheapb98 on

      This is so sad. Short is a good man. Wonder what the daughter was going through to sort to such extreme measure

    43. fingerblast69 on

      What the heck is going on the past few days with suicides?

      First it was NFL player Rondale Moore, then Robert Carradine and now Katherine Short.

      Check on your friends.

      Oh that’s terrible, poor Marty. He has experienced a lot of loss in his life. I wish him all the best and hope he finds peace during this difficult time

    45. JackParsonsRocket on

      We should all be okay with going out on our own terms, when ready. It’s about quality, not quantity. RIP to this beautiful woman

    46. Up_All_Nite on

      Time for the men in his life to circle the wagons. He has some good friends

      My best friend committed suicide last August and it’s just a horrible never ending pain. Words can’t even describe how it feels. My heart breaks for anyone who has to go through this kind of thing. I feel like my friend’s situation could have been avoided if she didn’t own a gun. Guns have always made me feel uncomfortable but now they make me feel absolutely sick.
