Actor Natasha Richardson is purportedly brain dead according to some news sources. Ms. Richardson who is a Tony award winning actor and Liam Neesons wife, was learning to ski when she fell and hit her head. She wasn't wearing a helmet. A while later, she began to complain of headaches and was taken to a hospital. She's now in Lenox Hill in NYC and things aren't looking hopeful. Her family is by her side.
This is so incredibly sad. She was doing something so many people do, probably having fun with it, and this happens. Brings me back to when Sonny Bono died in a skiing accident. Reminds you how precarious life is. And just further makes me understand that every moment needs to be of value. Sending hopeful wishes to the lovely Ms. Richardson and family.
My prayers go out to her and her family....
What a talented actress. How very sad for her children and Liam. Prayers go out to her and her family.

Same here what a sad story. Scary too
OMG Natasha just died.... I am SO sad right now....how shocking!!!
That's so sad. I was really hoping she'd pull through.
How very sad and tragic. I was also hoping she would pull through. It just goes to show you how precious life it and to never take if for granted.
Very tragic...
I just read THIS:
In a statement released just before midnight London time, family spokesman Alan Nierob said: "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
Richardson had been hospitalized in New York since Tuesday, surrounded by her husband, actor Liam Neeson, her two sons Michael, 13, and Daniel Jack, 12, and members of her immediate family including her mother, actress Vanessa Redgrave.
Its so sad - I have boys and close to that age (mine are 12, 14 & 16) and I can not image what they are going thought. My heart just breaks for the family.
AP is reporting there will be a autopsy preformed today.
Single & Not Looking
This is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine how her 2 young boys must feel (12 and 13) not to mention Liam. Miracles can happen, let's hope one happens to her!!
