Set decorator Mary Kate Golding killed in New York murder‑suicide

Hollywood set decorator Mary Kate Golding, 34, who worked on series such as “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Goosebumps,” and “Hawkeye,” was found dead in her Queens apartment on July 21 after being fatally stabbed in the back. Hours later, her husband Joseph Azzaretto was discovered hanging in Astoria Park, leading police to suspect a murder‑suicide.

The couple’s 11‑month‑old son was found unharmed in the home.
