Martin is the father of three children. He adopted all three—Katherine, Oliver, and Henry—and raised them alongside his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who passed away in 2010 after battling ovarian cancer.
No one from the Short family has confirmed how Katherine passed away. TMZ reported that the cause of her death was suicide, as she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
