Nancy Dolman, the wife of actor Martin Short for 30 years, died Saturday at the age of 58, said Short's manager. No cause of death was given.

Short hasn't had a very active acting career recently, but folks seem to remember him for his Jiminy Glick character, many "Saturday Night Live" appearances and memorable cameo on the cult classic "Arrested Development."

(PEOPLE.com) -- Martin Short's wife died relatively young -- at only 58 -- but her death was from natural causes, a coroner official confirms.

"[Nancy Dolman] was under the care of a private physician for a natural disease," L.A. County Coroner Chief Craig Harvey tells PEOPLE. "There will be no coroner involvement."

Dolman had been battling cancer, according to a 2007 tabloid report, but a publicist for the actor declined to comment on the cause of death.

The actor's wife passed away Saturday after a 911 call was made from Short's L.A. home.

Dolman and Short, who were married 30 years, had three children: Katherine, 26; Oliver, 24; and Henry, 21.
