Marc Maron has issued an emotional statement following the sudden death of his girlfriend, the director Lynn Shelton.

Shelton – who directed Your Sister’s Sister and episodes of Glow, Mad Men, Master of None and Little Fires Everywhere – died on Friday (16 May) after collapsing at the end of a week-long illness.

According to reports, she died from complications related to an “unidentified blood disorder”.

“There was a previously unknown, underlying condition,” said comedian and podcaster Maron. “It was not Covid-19. The doctors could not save her. They tried. Hard.

“I loved her very much as I know many of you did as well. It’s devastating. I am levelled, heartbroken and in complete shock and don’t really know how to move forward in this moment.

Cross gently, Lynn

Fans of Maron know he has had serious depressive issues in the past. I am very sad for him and for her loss.

She was so young. He sounds so heartbroken, I feel so terrible for him.

My condolences to Marc and her friends and family. RIP Lynn.
