Source: Natasha Richardson Off Life Support
Natasha Richardson has been taken off life support.
Sources close to the family tell E! News that the Tony Award winner was brain dead by the time she arrived in New York Tuesday night. Earlier today, the family made the wrenching call to remove her from respirators.
Accompanied by husband Liam Neeson, the 45-year-old Richardson was flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan Tuesday, a day after injuring her head in a skiing accident in Montreal.
Sincer her arrival, Neeson and the couple’s two sons had been keeping vigil. Also paying visits were members of Richardson’s family, including her mother, Oscar winner Vanessa Redgrave, sister Joely Richardson and aunt Lynn Redgrave.
ìItís particularly tragic for Vanessa,î laments a Richardson confidante, ìbecause she just finished playing a woman who loses her daughter in The Year of Magical Thinking, and now she has to endure it all over again.î
