Martin Short is speaking candidly about the devastating loss of his daughter, Katherine Short 💔 In an emotional new interview with CBS Sunday Mornings, the Canadian comedy legend described his eldest child's death at age 42 as “a nightmare for the family,” while opening up about her long struggle with mental health. "[She] did the best she could until she couldn't," he said. The 'Only Murders in the Building star,' 76, also reflected on losing his wife, Canadian actress Nancy Dolman, to ovarian cancer in 2010, saying both mental illness and cancer are “diseases” that can sometimes be terminal. "Nan's last words to me were, 'Martin, let me go.' And what [Katherine] was just saying [was], 'Dad, let me go.'" 😢 📸: Getty #martinshort #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #loss
