Natasha Richardson Is Declared Brain Dead!
Wednesday, March 18, 2009New York Post reported that Natasha Richardson is brain dead and will be taken off the life support system very soon.
She will be flown to New York from Montreal, Canada so that her mum, Vanessa Redgrave, sons Daniel and Micheál, close relatives and friends could bid farewell to the 45-year old actress.
Her second and current hubby, Liam Neeson rushed to Montreal hospital when he first heard of his wife severe injury. He was doing some scenes in the film Chloe at Toronto when the skiing accident on Richardson took place at the Mont Tremblant ski resort.
The two ski patrollers who went to her rescue discovered Richardson was smiling and joking after she fell and hit her head while practicing at the beginner green slope. Richardson, who was not wearing an helmet at the time of the fall, was escorted back to her room by her instructor and remained with her.
It was not until an hour later that Richardson started to complain that she was having a headache and not feeling very well. When she left the resort, she was still conscious in the ambulance.
Richardson has acted in The Parent Trap, the Maid in Manhattan with Jennifer Lopez and Wild Child. She is best known for her work on the stage and had won a Tony award for her role in Sam Mendes' production of Cabaret on Broadway. Aside from acting, she is also a staunch supporter of the American Foundation for AIDS research (AmFAR) as her late father died from AIDS related disease.
Recently Miss Richardson has expressed that she was feeling homesick and would like to move back to England. Goodbye Miss Richardson and you will be missed!
