Natasha Richardson (wife of Liam Neeson) suffered a blow to the head this week while learning to ski on the beginner slopes of a mountain in Canada. The 45 year old actress herself laughed after falling, walked around, and went back to where she was staying. It wasn't until later that day when she started complaining of a severe headache that she received medical attention. Later slipping into a coma and being left "brain dead" she was flown to New York with her husband so friends and family could say their quick and unexpected goodbyes. She was taken off life support earlier thisafternoon.
Her husband released this statement today about the entirely too soon loss of the his Tony Award winning wife (Sally in Cabaret 1998) and mother of his sons:
"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."
