Peter Falk's Daughter's Tragic End

0:00On April 29, Jacqueline Falk, daughter of the Lake Colombo Star, Peter Falk, died by suicide at age 60 on April 27 in Los Angeles. Records from the medical examiner confirmed the cause, and her body has been released while the case stays open for further investigation. She kept the low profile despite her dad's huge Hollywood run, popping up rarely like at the 1998 Emmys or NBC's 75th anniversary bash. Peter, a four-time Emmy winner and two-time Oscar nominee, shown in classics from Colombo to the Princess Bride. Family ties got messy late in his life after his dementia diagnosis in 2008. Her sister, Catherine, pushed for conservatorship over Peter's second wife, Shera, claiming she blocked visits between dad and daughters. Catherine turned that pain into action, championing Peter Falk's law to protect kids' rights to see ailing parents. It passed first in New York, with other states following, born from their battles over limited contact and even missing news of his death in burial.
