Natasha Richardson, Dead At 45
Posted on Wed Mar 18, 2009 06:25 PM PDT
The horrible news many were expecting has finally been made public -- British actress Natasha Richardson has died at a New York hospital with her family present.
A publicist for Richardson's husband Liam Neeson released a statement:
"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 passed away at Lenox Hill Hospital after a skiing accident on Monday on the slopes of Mont Trembland ski resort in Montreal. The actress and daughter of famed English actress Vanessa Redgrave, fell during a private lesson and was not wearing a helmet. She seemed fine and first but later complained of a headache and was taken to a local clinic before being transferred to Hopital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal.
Neeson, on the set of a film in Toronto, rushed to her side and eventually had her transfered to Lenox Hill Tuesday afternoon. Reports published yesterday said Richardson was brain dead.
X17 photographers spotted Richardson's mother, Vanessa Redgrave; her sister Joely Richardson, and her aunt Lynn Redgrave at the hospital today.
Our condolences to the family ...

So much BS going on in the world but money & wordly things are nothing compared to losing a loved one.
Très triste!!
Sincères condoléances a sa famille!!
Repose en Paix Natasha.
Quick X17, capitalize on the tragedy by selling adverts all over the page!
Terrible and so sad. Qu'elle repose en paix.
What a sad, sad thing to have happened to Mrs. Neeson. My heartfelt sympathy to the Neeson and Richardson Families. My thoughts and prayers are with all of them.
So sad..she had so much class and talent a true loss that is why she decided to live in NYC instead of plastic LA that is filled with talentless plastic skanks like Lilo and Brit
Such talented actress gone ..we will miss you Natasha.God Bless
What a sad story for that entire family and all of their friends and fans, but she sure did pack in a lot of living in the years she was here! good luck and best wishes to everyone involved!

So, did this make you feel smart to say that? Every last news and entertainment website is covering this same story. I bet that if they didn't cover it you'd be the first bitch to bitch! If you hate this site so much, what reason do you have to come here and help them out by adding precious clicks? No, you tried to come off as smart, but you ended up looking like some stupid fuuck without a clue! It must suck ass to be as stupid as you are, but I guess this world needs intellectually challenged people like you to wash dishes and mop restroom floors.
So sad! My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Natasha seemed like a genuinely kind person. She will be missed.
That's awful. My prayers are with her family. R.I.P . Natasha Richardson!
A class act unlike the attention whores out there. Why did she have to go.
Both Natasha and her Liam have set very high standards for hollywood couples. No one else can hold a candle. She will truly be missed. I pray that Liam Neeson and his sons get through this painful time. God Bless You!
so so sad R.I.P :-(
How tragic this whole situation is. If only she had chosen to wear protective headgear that day while learning to ski - she would still be here today - my heartfelt condolences to all of her family and friends who are grieving the loss their loved one. Very sad indeed.
How very sad. My prayers to Natasha's family and loved ones.
My prayers are with her family and especially her husband and the boys.
my heart aches for her husband, family n friends. my prayers n condolence...
Good bye to a classy lady, wife and mother. Thanks for staying real throughout your career.
:(
bostedby mor
good by classy career.
My deepest condolences to the Richardson family, I am from Mexico and I hear the news just so sad to say that God needs to rest angels at his side and those are to be worn. I have gone through the same situation and can only tell you that you have to learn to live with the pain of the pain and not something, I was very clear that Natasha is always guided by the best and now she is better than all, we can not believe that without knowing her cry and feel as if my departure, and I think that is the beautiful light that appeared just by looking at the screen. "Dying is not to forget, forget is to die" Natasha transcend if you just like family and others who knew the recall as she had wanted.
girl you were my inspiration,god bless your family
This is so sad. I have been fighting back tears every since I heard the story. Love you Natasha.
God bless the family. This is another reminder of how lucky we are and need to appreciate what we have and our loved ones. Small accidents can change the course of a whole family. We truly never know what happens tomorrow. RIP Natasha!
This is so sad.
God bless the family.
She was one of my favorite actresses and she was so young. :(
RIP Tasha
I have seen pictures of the family recently and they look like they are at a photo op...I'm not sure what there is to smile about...RIP Natasha
OMG thats awful
im so sorry
RIP
Her family does NOT look like they at a photo op, you MORON! Their smiles just show how kind they are & in some pics they look like uncomfortable smiles. I can't believe those A-holes taking pics couldn't just let them grieve.
