Report: "Brain Dead" Natasha Richardson To Be Taken Off Life Support

Natasha Richardson LIAMNEESON063007a.jpg Words cannot express how shocked and saddened we are to hear this news.

After conflicting reports about Natasha Richardson's condition, Fox News is now reporting that the actress is in fact brain dead, and that she is being relocated to New York to be taken off life support.

Earlier today, various media outlets were in disagreement as to the extent of Richardson's brain damage, but sources close to the family have told three websites (Fox, NY Post and Time Out New York) that the 45-year-old actress' condition has deteriorated.

As you know, Natasha suffered serious head trauma after a fall at the Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec, Canada yesterday, and over the past 24 hours she has been transfered to three different hospitals. Richardson's husband, actor Liam Neeson is with her, and a rep for the family is expected to release a statement to the media tomorrow.

Natasha and her family are in our prayers.




So sad.

KILL THE WHITE BEEOCH!

:'( aww I know how hard that is. Two months ago my dad was electrocuted at work and fell off a ladder. After 2 days in the ICU, he was also announced brain dead (along with many other horrible injuries). Taking him off life support was the hardest thing in the world. I know how sad her family these next few weeks. Its been 2 months and I am still extremely depressed over losing my father. Life is unfair sometimes, especially when you lose someone to a freak accident, its very hard move on...

how do you become braindead from falling on a bunny hill?
just so weird. RIP.

Like X17 actually gives a shit when you people make a buck off misery and misfortune.

Just messed up and sad! It sounds like she was just trying to learn how to ski and made the fatal error of not thinking a helmet was needed! And although I don't know for sure, it sounds like she and Liam were a happy couple! Sucks!

Amend to 2:39- If it's true what's being reported! I hope it's a mistake, but it sounds like it isn't!

She looks delicious! But not a fan of hers I saw her at dating site ____W e a l t h y C u p i d . c o m ___last week. I am wondering what kind of

relationship she is looking for on that site.

She was wearing a helmit. I think something else happened causing her to fall. They said she did not go into anyone or anything. She just fell :-(

Los Angeles Times - 15 minutes ago Unconfirmed reports: Natasha Richardson is brain dead

----------------------------------------

Natasha was critically injured but the media outlets have been speculating about the severity of her condition.



Posted by: skhg

X17 are the only ones reporting this so far. There's been no confirmation on it, or we'd be seeing it on other sites as well.



Posted by: Anonymous

I have been googling the news. The unconfirmed report is making the rounds but it's still an UNCONFIRMED report.

stella hold onto your memories of your father. You are an extension of his life. Make it a good life.



Posted by: Amazing

Some of these comments here...wow!
The story is incorrect! She is NOT on life support.

No shit Amazing. We knew that a 1/2 hr ago.

Nattie's a fine lady and good mum. I'd rather see a yank slag shoved in the hole.

bonquisha, you are as low as they come. You need to be dragged out into a field, tortured and then shot. You sick individual. I will pray for you.

X17 is fuucking pathetic. Before declaring anything, wait until there is an official announcement. This a human life that affects her family including children. Have some repect.

What is X17 on a death watch now? Horrible.

X17 stop being ghoulish.



Posted by: fromottawa

that's scary... i was at mont tremblant a week ago..
i hate skiing there anyways
hope it's not true



Posted by: Anonymous

As usual X17 will post any false gossip. This is BS. Several other resources report that the hospital has reported she is suffering from brain swelling but is NOT brain dead.



Posted by: SuziON

Tragic news, Stella I'm sorry about your dad. I can't imagine the shock you've been through.
As another poster said, he will continue to live on through you.
Under stories like these you can really see what types of people you're dealing with. There are some real sick-o's out there and some compassionate ones as well.



Posted by: Anonymous

SuziON, you quoted me. Stella’s grief is palpable. I wrote those words to comfort her. Please don’t use Stella’s loss, my words and Natasha’s story as a vehicle for nonsense from other threads.

My words to you Stella are sincere.

Any other statements like 7:12 above aimed at me will not be responded to simply because I will not involve myself with such ignorance and disrespect!



Posted by: Reta

Bonquisha, you are the definition of wasted human life. But people like you always seem to get whats coming to them I just cant wait till karma comes up and bites you in the ass, I can only hope its sooner rather than later! Your a heartless, sick asshole! Next time print your real name, or are you to afraid too? My thoughts are with this talented actress and her family.



Posted by: Anonymous

Actually People magazine isnt saying this at all. You should be ashamed of yourselves X17 for making a horrible thing like this into dirty laundry. All People mag said was that the family are going to be by her side. Period. You guys dont know shit.



Posted by: Anonymous

SuziON, let me remind your so-called ‘sincere' words merely paraphrased mine. Your 6:27 comment was ignorant and disrespectful. You clearly intended to use this thread to bash other posters. I’m glad people can see what a manipulative bitch you can be. If you do respond, be prepared for me to be even more blunt.

After reading that she was alright at first and completely coherent, then out of no where became completely braindead completely shocks me. That is so unbelievably sad. RIP Natasha Richardson.

How The Media Is Covering The Natasha Richardson Breaking News

10:10-1 Natasha Richardson is in critical condition. Neither her family nor her doctors have made a statement. I posted an article at 10:10-2. It will help explain the confusion being caused by the media.



Posted by: Anonymous

Just announced on Fox News she is brain dead and will be taken off life support in New York tomorrow.... So sad.



Posted by: Anonymous

If this is true this news should have been off limits to X17 until her husband Liam and her family were ready to make a statement. My heart breaks for all of them...she is so young. Please X17 use have higher draw the line somewhere in the future.

Sad news. They said she was feeling okay until an hour after the accident when she started to complain of headaches. That's the scary part. Just checked a few sites..some say clinically dead and some others say serious head trauma.



Posted by: Anonymous

Mont Temblant is a you like or you hate type of mountain. It's very icy due to the steepness of the mountain. The news here is Quebec are reporting that she was not wearing a helmet (which sadly, will be mendatory next year) and that she was fine after the fall. The ski patrol insisted she sees a doctor and her conditions got worse within an hour. Here, they are saying clinically dead...that's why she was transferred from Montreal to New-York...it's sad but it happens very often to non-celeb people.



Posted by: Anonymous

like you care. you drive people into insanity and then make paper off their misery so cut the faux concern.
also you shouldn't report this before there is an official statement. the woman has kids and a family. have a freaking heart!!!



Posted by: ..

one of the anonymous people said "how can you become braindead from falling on a bunny hill?"you know its quite a stupid statement to say if you dont ski.skiing is a dangerous sport and some injuiries in skiing can be really serious.



Posted by: LISA

I THINK PEOPLE WHO WRITE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE TERRIBLE.. NUTHIN BETTER IN LIFE BUT BE EVIL AND HURT OTHERS!!!
WELL KARMA IS A BITCH

BONQUESHA OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS YOU ARE AN ASS.......

Bonquisha, you are a "White Beeoch" and I sincerely hope that someone kills you! Your post was merely for attention, now take your mental health medication.



Posted by: Anonymous

Thats so sad. And Liam didn't even get to see her alert one last time before she passed. terrible. thoughts and prayers go out to the family!!



Posted by: Elda

my prayers n condolence to her husband, family n friends... she was so talented, young n beautiful....



Posted by: Rose, RN

Yes, these accidents can b deceptive. Hit ur head & feel fine...for awhile. Then, if there's bleeding & it's not acted on correctly/immedicately it's 2late. The most difficult part is that @1st it seems ok & the condition (bcause of the brain bleed) goes down hill quickly. My understanding is that in the area where she was there was not a brain trauma center hospital & there was no emergency transportation (helicopter) 2the nearest head trauma center. Yes, a short 2.5 hr drive can make the difference between life, coma & death. Tash, you will be missed. Strength to the family.

I'm amazed by all the sad and often abusive comments - this is just very sad news - a lovely and talented lady - a wife a mother has died at an early age - remember her and allow her and her family some dignity and privacy



Posted by: Anonymous

bonquisha, i hope one of your love ones never have to go thru this...most likely you don't have any love ones. you probably hate everybody and viceversa. i bet you one of those people that only live to argue and treat everybody like shit. remember, every turkey has their thanksgiving day.







This part is optional!
