Cause of D**th Revealed — Updated with Medical Examiner Confirmation: Actor Nicky Katt d**d by s**cide, according to a statement from his family.

Law enforcement sources confirm that 54-year-old Nicky Katt died by hanging. No suicide note or explanation was found at the scene. Authorities believe he had been deceased for several days before his body was discovered.

“Today, with the heaviest of hearts, I share the devastating news of my brother’s passing,” Katt’s sister Elise Ravenscroft said to Deadline on Monday. “He d**d by s**cide after battling with depression—one that he fought bravely but quietly.”

“This is a pain no family should endure, yet far too many do,” Ravenscroft continued. “Mental illness is real, it is powerful, and it is often invisible. We hope that by sharing this, we can help break the silence and stigma that so often surrounds mental health struggles.”
