Martin Short breaks silence on daughter's suicide, calls for mental health destigmatization

Katherine Short, 42, died by suicide in February 2026 at her home in Hollywood Hills after struggling with borderline personality disorder and severe mental health conditions.

At 76, Martin Short has chosen to speak plainly about the death of his daughter Katherine, who died by suicide in February after years of living with borderline personality disorder. In doing so, he is not simply mourning — he is reframing, asking a culture still prone to shame and silence to consider that suicide can be the terminal stage of a disease, as deserving of compassion as any other. His voice carries the particular weight of a man who has spent a lifetime learning, through accumulated loss, that denial protects no one.
