Martin Short
Doesn’t Attend Actors Awards After Daughter’s Death
Published
Martin Short had a difficult last week … and decided it was best if he didn’t attend the Actors Awards Sunday.
The veteran actor was up for the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series — an award he won last year … but, he was the only of the five nominees not at the ceremony in Los Angeles..
Seth Rogen ended up taking the trophy anyway … but, it seems clear Martin skipped the ceremony because his daughter, Katherine, passed away last week.
We broke the story … Short’s daughter died by self-inflicted gunshot wound, law enforcement sources told us. She previously revealed she suffered from mental health issues.
We spoke with a friend who remembered her as a “beautiful empathetic soul” … who said there were no indications that Katherine was suffering as she was.

She was found behind a locked door … and a note was found at the scene.
Short had several comedy shows scheduled for this weekend … but, he postponed those shortly after Katherine was found dead.
She was 42.
RIP
