 RIP Natasha Richardson
Quote: Richardson's Ambulance Ride Confirms Condition
Posted Mar 18th 2009 10:08AM by TMZ Staff
TMZ has obtained information about Natasha Richardson's ambulance ride in New York to Lenox Hill Hospital -- she was "unconscious," her pupils "non-reactive," her skin was "pale" and she was suffering from "major head trauma."
We're told her husband Liam Neeson held her hand the entire time and caressed her face as he sat in silence.
We're also told when the plane landed in New Jersey, medics on board told members of the ambulance team that Richardson was "brain dead."
so sad

 Re: Natasha Richardson declared "brain dead"
Uh, this still isn't really official? Still, it seems to all be building up to an inevitable conclusion. How incredibly tragic.

 Re: TMZ: Natasha Richardson declared "brain dead"
While it's certainly possible, there is no way an ambulance medic could tell if it's a trauma induced coma or if she's brain dead. You need to be able to run tests, monitor brain activity, etc. Sure there are signs that point to it, but they can't tell for sure at that stage.

 Re: TMZ: Natasha Richardson declared "brain dead"
I do believe the story was that she was diagnosed as brain dead in Canada, and flown to NY to die there. So, the Ambulance crew in NY would have likely got the Canadian diagnosis, which would have come after some type of brain scan (if Canadians possess that technology?).

 Re: TMZ: Natasha Richardson declared "brain dead"
That is terrible. If there's one thing I'm gonna be more aware of now is that if I ever get my head injured I'm going to see a doctor right away. No waiting, I don't wanna be one of those "talking dead".

Anyway, it's a pretty sad way to die, for her and her family. Not that there's a fun way to die, but no one should die that young.

It's a real shame. She always seemed cute and nice, unlike her mom who was the heir to the masengil fortune.

I agree that it's a sad way to die for her family, but other than the fact she died relatively young, it really is not such a bad way to die. A couple hours of headaches and disorientation before slipping into a coma. This is surely quite a pleasant way to die compared to the horrifically lengthy suffering and sickening treatments I have seen some friends and family members go through before finally blessedly dying of cancer. Or the years of terrified confusion suffered by some people with Alzheimers. Or burning to death in a car accident. If I had a choice on how to die, this one would be towards the top of my list...

 Re: RIP Natasha Richardson
Blunt impact caused Natasha Richardson's deathWasn't an aneurysm as some suggested. As the article suggested in the other thread, you hit your head hard enough and in the right spot, it could be serious.

 Re: RIP Natasha Richardson
Stories like this are always more depressing? than those that involve drugs or whatever, yet people seem to care less about them. I guess I can understand why, but for me, an accident like this is > than someone overdosing or something.
