Martin Short Reflects On Daughter Katherine’s Death: “A Nightmare For The Family”
Less than three months after his daughter’s death by suicide, Martin Short is opening up about the toll on his family and the importance of mental health.
On Sunday, the 2x Emmy-winning comedian explained that his late daughter Katherine Hartley Short “did the best she could until she couldn’t,” noting that mental illness is just as much a disease as cancer.
“It’s been a nightmare for the family,” he said on CBS Sunday Morning. “But the understanding [is] that mental health and cancer, like my wife’s, are both diseases, and sometimes with diseases they are terminal. And my daughter fought for a long time with extreme mental health, borderline personality disorder, other things, and did the best she could until she couldn’t.”
