Peter Falk's Daughter Jacqueline Passes Away

Jacqueline Falk, daughter of the late Columbo star Peter Falk, has passed away at age sixty. She was found dead in a Los Angeles home on Monday, April twenty-seventh, and the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled her death a suicide. Jacqueline and her sister Catherine were adopted daughters of Peter Falk and his first wife, Alyce Mayo. Peter divorced Mayo in nineteen seventy-six and remarried the next year to Shera Falk. Peter battled Alzheimers and died in June twenty eleven at eighty-three. A family rift emerged when Catherine fought for visitation rights, but Shera, as his conservator, blocked access. Jacqueline didnt join that battle, missing the last three years of his life, and neither daughter got word when he was hospitalized or died—they learned from news reports. The medical examiner confirmed the suicide ruling this week, and outlets have sought comment from Catherines organization.
