Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Mary Kate Golding, a 34-year-old set decorator whose credits included “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, was fatally stabbed at her Queens home on 21 July. Her husband, Joseph Azzaretto, was found dead by hanging in nearby Astoria Park later that morning; multiple reports described the case as a suspected murder-suicide, while the NYPD statements did not identify either person or formally state a link between the deaths.
Police said officers responding shortly after midnight found Golding with a stab wound to her back and paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. The couple’s baby son was found unharmed, and Golding had recently been due to work on Sean Durkin’s forthcoming film “Deep Cuts”; her other screen credits included “Goosebumps”, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, “Hawkeye” and “The Flight Attendant”.
