Rest In Peace Natasha Richardson

Follwing the a serious head injury after a fall on a ski slope, Natasha Richardson passes away. She was 45.

Her husband, Liam Neeson, and her family released a statement Wednesday confirming her death. “Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha,” the statement read. “They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”

Richardson's accident happened at Station Mont Tremblant near Montreal while she was taking a ski lesson. She fell in a begginer's trail and after an hour passed, she was sent to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and was later transferred to Hospital du Sacre-Coeur. Neeson rushed to her side after hearing the news of her accident.

Richardson was then flown to the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City on Tuesday. Her family and friends, including her sons Micheal Richard Antonio, 13 and Daniel Jack, 12 came to see her. Her sister Joely Richardson, mother Vanessa Redgrave and aunt Lynn Redgrave also were there.

To Natasha Richardson's family, I am sorry for their loss.
