You may have seen a post up here on Evil Beet a couple minutes ago about the passing of Natasha Richardson. It was reported by three major sites that the actress died and the story was reported as “confirmed.” The originating source pulled their story; therefore, I have pulled mine until we have real details on the current status of Richardson’s health.
A couple of other gossip sites have chosen to stick with the story, but especially when someone’s life is involved, confirmation is critical. Stay tuned.
I really really hope this isn’t true. :(
It just shows that we should never take our time for granted.
Thank you for excercising restraint. Let’s all collectively hope that the originating reports were incorrect.
oh no!!!! God I hope not. That is so awful. This is some Sonny Bono bullshit.
And that sucks that people are reporting it if it’s not true… God, I feel so bad for her family
oh I just looked at TMZ, cuz those people are crazy, and they had a new update:
UPDATE: 1:37 PM ET We’re told Richardson’s jet was scheduled to take off from Montreal-Trudeau Airport. A rep for the airport said the jet is either still there or has just taken off.
We’re told Natasha Richardson has been transported from the hospital in Canada via ambulance. CTV says she boarded a private jet — we do not know where the jet has gone, but we believe it’s New York City.
Richardson was accompanied by a medic team for the flight.
Story developing ..
I saw that too. My personal opinion? I think they are transporting her for a second opinion. I think that she is brain dead.
God, that’s so sad. I am about to go to the DMV and was feeling all bad for myself. I guess I should probably cut that shit out
Also on TMZ: UPDATE 2:00 PM ET — The hospital tells TMZ Richardson is sedated and suffering from brain swelling — but is not brain dead.
It sounds like something other than a fall caused the problem. She was on a beginner’s trail and apparently didn’t have much of a fall as she was walking around fine right afterwards. She may have had a stroke and fell because of it and no one realized until afterwards. Severe headache and clumsiness are signs of stroke.
Just heard on the news that she’s not dead, but not in great shape either… still time to hope…
