Natasha Richardson passes away after skiing accident

[couturecandystor]

I still don't want this to be true

WHAT?!

Is the media jumping the gun or what? Is she ACTUALLY brain dead? Where is their confirmation? This is not something to joke around about.

I completely agree, so much speculation and uncertainty, and then then changing of stories, very confusing and unethical, they forget maybe that this is an actual woman with an actual family.

I'm reading more and more stories though with bad news, and I hope still that this is just misinformation

God.

For once I wish that TMZ is right.

I know . I didn't post anything earlier b/c I thought the media had overreacted and that if she was flying then she must be fine. But now I'm getting scared. I guess we'll find out tomorrow if the reports are true or not. I reallllly hope not. I haven't seen a ton of her work, but what I have seen I always loved her in.

she's in Lenox Hospital near her nyc apartment.


(saw news vans, reporters, photographers in the area as i was coming from a function earlier)

it is so ridiculous! this is not some lindsay lohan gets caught with her knickers off...this is bloody life and death but the way these idiots seem to be reporting it feel like they're making mockery of it.

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^I know...it's infuriating. If nothing has been confirmed, SAY SO...don't say, "brain dead," "going home to die" if nothing is known.

 

[Scott]

can you believe of all news outlets the only one not jumping on this sensational bandwagon is TMZ. they have neither confirmed nor speculated on anything and i applaud them for doing that. all of the rest should be ashamed of themselves especially in the knowledge of what happened to princess diana.

 

[pigleto972001]

i am upset at how the media has handled this as well! unfortunately, there haven't been any denials about the withdrawal of life support. so so sad!!

 

[adorefaith]

this is absolutely tragic...i don't understand how such a critical injury can develop from something so seemingly harmless?. it's horrifying. my heart goes out to all her loved ones. i keep picturing those poor children. life can be strange indeed..

 

[inhirnamy137]

I feel very sad, it's very heartbreaking

 

[alicia753]

It's just so horrible

Richardson’s condition ‘very serious’

Family friend tells People.com ‘there is no chance’ for recovery

MONTREAL - Members of Natasha Richardson’s family gathered at a New York hospital where the Tony-winning actress was reportedly taken with a serious head injury after falling on a Canadian ski slope.

Richardson, 45, part of the Redgrave dynasty of British actors and the wife of Liam Neeson, was flown from Montreal to New York on Tuesday after the accident, a person close to the family, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Richardson’s condition was very serious and her family was highly distressed, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing two people close to her family who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.

family friend told People.com “there is no chance” of recovery. “It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead,” the unidentified friend told the magazine.

A reporter from the Toronto Star earlier reported seeing a distraught Neeson crouched inside the back of an ambulance at Montreal’s Sacre-Coeur hospital as Richardson, wrapped in blankets and with tubes covering her face, was loaded inside. Neeson had immediately left the Toronto set of his upcoming movie, “Chloe,” to be by her side in Montreal, a publicist for the film said.

Later that evening, a somber looking Vanessa Redgrave, Richardson’s mother, was seen in photographs walking into Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Two boys, identified in photos as her sons, Michael Richard Antonio Neeson and Daniel Jack Neeson, and a young woman identified as a niece, Daisy Bevan, were seen leaving the hospital early Wednesday. It couldn’t be determined what Richardson’s condition was, or what she was being treated for.

i hope i'm well off and that her condition is improving,
but i think that they're waiting for her to be taken of life support and that the official statement will be the one confirming her death

or

they will release the statement if her condition changes - improves.

This is so heartbreaking, specially how it happened, i hate skiing with passion and i grew up near a skiing resort.

I was near Lenox hill yesterday, and there were cops and barricades everywhere- I was wondering why.

I guess this is it.

 

[milk_x_honey.]

I'm really horrified at how irresponsible the press has been reporting this. Declaring someone is "dead" or "brain dead" should not be taken lightly...these so called journalists clearly missed out on ethics class.

agree!.

i heard the reports on the radio this morning, and some stations just flippantly announced 'shes brain-dead' and then cut straight to the lohan/britney gossip.


such a sad turn of events.
