In the picture, Kate can be smiling at David. In another sweet tribute to Kate, David posted a picture on Instagram, which he captioned “Fuzzy picture but I love it. Kate and I during Christmas family photos. We had so much fun that day. She was so sharp and quick on her feet. She could make me laugh so hard. I still can’t believe it.” The two can be seen sharing a laugh in the photograph.
His statements come hours after he was seen in LA looking extremely upset. Wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, David tried to evade the cameras, and was later seen getting a consoling hug from a friend.
The NYPD released an official statement about suicide, which said, “I can confirm it was an apparent suicide. On Tuesday June 5 at approximately 10:20 am, a police officer responded to a 911 call about an unconscious person. Upon arrival, the officer discovered a 55-year-old woman named
