Tragic Death of Set Decorator Mary Golding
In a shocking incident, a new mother known for her work on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” was found dead in what appears to be a murder-suicide at her home in Queens, New York. Reports suggest that she married into a family with a history of violence.
The NYPD confirmed that Mary Golding, 34, suffered a stab wound to her back and was declared dead shortly after midnight on Tuesday.
Golding was a talented set decorator with credits on various shows, including “Gone Girls: Long Island Serial Killer” and “Hawkeye.”
According to her social media, she graduated from New York University.
Concerningly, investigators later discovered the body of Golding’s husband, Joseph Azaretto, hanging from a tree in a nearby park, which suggests a possible suicide. Reports indicate Azaretto, 33, admitted to the killing during a phone call with friends and family.
This incident has raised alarm, especially considering that Azaretto’s younger brother had previously faced charges for fatally shooting their father in Pennsylvania. It’s all quite unsettling, really—families should be places of safety, not sources of tragedy.
The couple’s young child was found nearby, unhurt, but this whole situation is just heartbreaking. It leaves one wondering how such darkness can cast a shadow over lives that should be filled with joy.
