"No Chance" For Natasha Richardson
After conflicting reports about Natasha Richardson's condition yesterday, a source close to the family has confirmed to People that the 45-year-old actress is brain dead, and there is "no chance" for a complete recovery.
Yesterday evening, Richardson's family (including her sons, Michael and Daniel, her mother Vanessa Redgrave, her aunt Lynn Redgrave and her sister Joely Richardson) visited her at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC, and after rushing from his Toronto film set on Monday, husband Liam Neeson hasn't left her side. Richardson suffered a serious head injury after falling on the slopes at the Station Mont Tremblant ski resort in Montreal, and after being transfered to two Canadian hospitals, Richardson arrived in New York yesterday.
TMZ reports that during her ambulance ride to Lennox Hill Hospital, the actress was "unconscious," her pupils were "non-reactive," and her skin was "pale." Neeson "held her hand the entire time and caressed her face as he sat in silence."
Our hearts go out to the family...we can't even begin to imagine how difficult this is for them.
So sad.
