Natasha Richardson is brain dead

Yes. Interesting aside: Until she appeared on the show, I always thought Lynn Redgrave was Vanessa Redgrave.

 

If that is true, I'd like to know how it happened so quickly. I didn't know you could be brain dead from swelling. Then again, I'm no doctor.

 

I'm guessing the swelling slowly cut off blood supply to the brain like a minor stroke.

 

Damn, hard to believe she made it back to her hotel room.

 

She must have had some existing weakness to hit her head on the bunny slope and die. That's just weird.

 

Haha, give the girl a break, Joely is 40+ and she is still fine. You should see her in Lady Chatterley.

 

Really horrible. Can't imagine how horrible Liam Neeson and her family are feeling.

 

Looks like those reports of her being brain dead could be right...

Sad situation. Who would think you'll die from taking a beginner lesson?

Thank god, I only popped my right knee when I attempted to ski for first time.

 

I don't think she is that attractive. My fiance said she was ugly. Whatever rocks your boat!

 

I Agree

I saw Parent Trap recently
and Yea. . .much better than her sister

Ole girl on Nip Tuck has to be the most overrated chick
She is not really cute at all

this is a sad story. she was just skiing, and not even recklessly at that. sad, sad, sad.

 

The New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, the same company that runs FOX.

as far from liberal as you can get...

get well Natasha

 

Wow that's really sad, RIP

 

Wow, I have no idea who this actress is, but my prayers go out to her family.

RIP

 

Lol....your fiance knows how to give the right answer

 

R.I.P.

 

I absolutely hated pulling CNN's homepage up and seeing that. Just terrible. I guess those early reports were spot on. So sad.

Liam is such a good actor and I admire his work. Life is definitely not being fair to him and his right about now. Just a tragedy and she might have been saved had it been handled differently with more caution. It sucks that she could talk her way out of it like that. She's not really in the position to make that call. Or, she shouldn't have been...but that is how it turned out. But, I don't have all the facts but I have to ask what good is an instructor watching her when, by the time the effects set in, it's obviously too late to do anything about it? Ultimately, she made the decision that took her life...which makes me think these people around her were treating this too lightly given the result. Just some bad protocol in place there or something stinks about it.

My condolences.
