Katherine Short — the daughter of Hollywood legend Martin Short — was given an autopsy Tuesday by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office — and now her body was ready to be released.

As we first reported, Katherine died by suicide Monday inside her Hollywood Hills home after she put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s website.

TMZ obtained dispatch audio, revealing that the person who called 911 from Katherine’s house was unable to gain access to her bedroom. The L.A. County Fire Department is heard responding to the scene for a shooting Monday evening, which is later clarified as “self-inflicted.”

Martin Short and his family issued a statement, saying … “It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short. The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”

Katherine was 42.

RIP
