Last night it was reported that actress Natasha Richardson was in critical condition at a Montreal hospital after she injured herself in a skiing accident. Today it is being reported that the actress is suffering from brain swelling and might be brain dead.
According to TMZ.com Natasha was;
“…having a private lesson on a green slope (beginner) at a ski resort in Quebec, Canada. She fell — we’re not sure why. There was no blood and no sign of impact. Two ski patrollers came to her rescue. When they got there she was conscious — smiling and making jokes.
An hour later, Natasha started to complain of a headache and said she didn’t feel well. Someone from the resort called 911, and she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Natasha was conscious when she left the resort.”
This is such a tragic accident and is just a reminder that everybody must wear always wear helmet, no matter what!
*The most recent report is that the actress is being flown from the Montreal hospital to another location.
