Katherine Short, the eldest daughter of beloved comedian Martin Short, reportedly exhibited no signs of mental distress before her tragic passing. Living in the picturesque Hollywood Hills, California, the social worker's neighbor revealed that there was "no indication of struggle" from the 42-year-old.
"Depression is often a silent and hidden killer," the neighbor told Us Weekly. "Katherine was a private person, but that didn't mean she wasn't friendly. She was quite outgoing."
The neighbor continued, "She would always say 'Hi.' She was a voracious reader and could talk deeply about the books she'd read. She had the nicest, most beautiful orange tree in her front yard. It was the envy of all the neighbors. Somehow, the bugs that affected our trees didn't land in hers," they added.
On Monday, February 23, Katherine was found dead at her home in Hollywood Hills. The Short family issued a statement to People magazine, expressing their profound grief and asking for privacy at this difficult time. "The Short family is devastated by this loss, and we will remember Katherine for the light and joy she brought into the world," they said.
