Actress Natasha Richardson was injured in a skiing accident

It was reported on GMA this morning, that the family has been gathering at the hospital (to say their good-byes), and they are going to make a statement in a few hours. No - it doesn't sound good at all. There have been reports that she is brain dead and on life support. I pray that this isn't the case.

Yes that is what I heard as well.. I also heard that right after the accident she got up & said she was just fine.. It was a few hours later that she complained of not feeling good & went to the hospital & into a coma.. All so Tragic.. No it does not look good at all.. Sending Lots of Prayers for Her & Family..

I didn't know who she was until a few months ago.


I saw her on a cooking show as a judge-She's a very attractive woman and carried herself with the air of being very cultured, yet down to earth.

I hope the reports are not as dire as they seem to be!

My uncle in law fell and hit his head this past summer and refused to go to the doctor until he suddenly went blind a couple hours later. He didn't make it. It doesn't sound good for Natasha but continued prayers for a recovery nonetheless.

When I fell down just a few steps at the age of 3 and hit my head, it appeared that I was ok, too. It wasn't until a month later that I developed symptoms but by then the damage had been done. As a result of the head trauma, I had developed a blood clot on the brain, had a stroke on the operating table which caused paralysis on my left side and I had to learn to walk and talk all over again. I had grand mal seizures for years after that. I'm ok now (some would disagree, LOL) but a head injury needs to be closely monitored for a good while. My prayers certainly are w/her and her family. How devastating.

The reports on her condition vary widely. I've been saying prayers for her. She and Liam Neeson are 2 of my favorites.

It was just announced - she has died. So terrible for her family - especially the two boys.

Oh Mary I am so sorry. Glad you are ok, yes you are ok.
