Natasha Richardson’s Tragic Death Caused by a Traumatic Brain Injury
Natasha Richardson, 45, died Wednesday at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan. According to an article, Ms. Richardson’s death was announced Wendesday night by Alan Nierob, a spokesman for the actress’s husband, Liam Neeson.
“Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha,” a statement said. “They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”
According to the report, Ms. Richardson suffered head injuries from a small fall during a skiing lesson on Monday north of Montreal. Ms. Richardson’s instructor and a ski patrol member accompanied her off the slopes.
A spokeswoman for the Mont Tremblant ski resort, Lyne Lortie, said that Ms. Richardson was not wearing a helmet during her beginner skiing lesson.
“It was a normal fall; she didn’t hit anyone or anything,” Lortie said. “She didn’t show any signs of injury; she was talking and she seemed all right.”
Ms. Richardson was taken to a hospital nearby after complaining of a headache later in her hotel. She was then flown to Lenox Hill on Tuesday.
