Katherine Short died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to her L.A. County Dept. Of Public Health death certificate.
LAPD officers and LAFD firefighters responded to Katherine’s Hollywood Hills home last week where they found her dead. Sources indicated she took her own life.
Katherine — the eldest child of Martin Short and Nancy Dolman — was found behind a locked door in the home and a note was found at the scene. The contents of the note remain unknown.
Short legally changed her name to Katherine Hartley in 2013, citing concerns that her association with her father might lead to harassment from potential social work clients.
Martin Short postponed comedy shows with Steve Martin and skipped the Actors Awards following his daughter’s death.
She has been cremated.
