NEW YORK (March 18) — Tony-winning actress Natasha Richardson has died after suffering a head injury during a skiing accident at the age of 45. She was taken off of life support early Wednesday.
Alan Nierob, the Los Angeles-based publicist for Richardson's husband Liam Neeson, confirmed her death in a written statement.


Natasha Richardson, the Tony-winning actress and wife of actor Liam Neeson, has died after suffering head injuries during a skiing accident in Canada. She was 45 years old.

"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha," the statement said. "They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
The statement did not give details on the cause of death for Richardson, who suffered a head injury when she fell on a beginner's trail during a private ski lesson at the luxury Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec. She was hospitalized Tuesday in Montreal and later flown to a hospital in New York City.
Family members had been seen coming and going from the New York hospital where Richardson was reportedly taken.
Vanessa Redgrave, Richardson's mother, arrived in a car with darkened windows and was taken through a garage when she arrived at the Lenox Hill Hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side at around 5 p.m. Wednesday. An hour earlier, Richardson's sister, Joely, arrived alone and was swarmed by the media as she entered through the back of the hospital.
TMZ reported on Tuesday that Richardson had fallen while taking a lesson on the slopes of the Canadian resort. They say there was no blood and no sign of impact. Two ski patrollers came to her rescue. When they got there she was conscious, smiling and making jokes.
An hour later, Natasha started to complain of a headache. Someone from the resort called 911, and she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, still conscious.

Absolutely tragic as not only did she leave behind her husband but 12 and 13 year old sons. 45 years old. I remember watching The Parent Trap and Maid in Manhattan and absolutely loving her charisma and elegance which always shined through on camera. You never heard anything bad about her. A true beauty. A true angel now. Rest in peace Natasha. Your fans will never forget you.

Kinda crazy how that happened. One little knock on the head where everything seems fine...couple hours later she's in a como...then dead. Think of all the times where you've got knocked in the head.

She had bleeding in the skull which caused pressure to build in her brain. In some cases it causes comas. In her case death. Most people don't realize brain trauma can take hours or even days to worsen and claim a life. Nothing to take lightly. She didn't even hit anything just snow. Which may have been hard since she was at the mountains.

Yeah they said there was blunt force trama or something like that. I feel really bad for her family, I liked her a lot in Parent Trap. Not a big fan of Lindsay Lohan but I did like her a lot, she was a really good actress. It scares me something happened like that because I fell on a ski mountain over winter break but didn't hit my head.

She had an "epidural hematoma".
