I read it was a suicide.  I pray for the family.

It was suicide.

Martin Short's daughter, Katherine, died on Monday by an apparent suicide. She was 42.

"It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short," a rep for the "Only Murders in the Building" star confirmed to Page Six Tuesday.

"The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world."

The social worker was reportedly found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at her Hollywood Hills, Calif., home on Monday around 6 p.m. local time, per TMZ.
