Actor Martin Short

Martin Short says the pain of losing his daughter will always be with him

Los Angeles

California, United States

The Canadian actor helped present a new award named for his daughter Katherine on Wednesday, at Selena Gomez's Rare Impact Fund Benefit for youth mental health in Los Angeles.

Katherine Short, a clinical social worker, died in February at 42. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office determined her death was a suicide.

Mental health is simply an illness, not to be hidden in the shadows or perceived as a family embarrassment.
