Very sad.

I'm curious to hear what the autopsy says. From what I read, the fall she had wasn't bad. We were talking about it in our office yesterday and we all came to the conclusion that there had to be a pre-existing condition that the fall aggravated. Whatever happened, it is still very sad...

RIP Natasha...

Nothing that I would wish on anyone, or anybody's spouse.

Just a couple weeks ago my sister in law had a brain anurism and died. Now my brother doesn't what to do with himself (he's retired). At least Liam has acting to do, and can mourn her loss as time progresses.

Totally sad in any case.

After I had beed Medi Vaced from Here to Portland Org. they did My Brain Surgery and Told me to come home and "LIVE AS BEST I COULD. I HAD TWO ANURISMS. About 3 weeks after I got back I called the doctor to tell him my left foot and leg were asleep. He asked if I could Drive to his office. I said yes and left home.

CNN had a story where they said Natasha Richardson died of injuries caused by a blunt impact to the head.

Funny thing, something very similar (a fall where I hit my head on our deck) caused me to be placed on disability.

Go figure... :doh:

:wacko:

My condolences. We have a local newspaper, titled as " The Sunday Mail ". The australian media had an article printed, in context of Natasha Richardson. I thought it was quite emotional, that her mother sang the " Edelweiss " song to her in hospital room.

Please allow me, to submit a piece of the journalists article. This is how it was presented in an adelaide newspaper : " The 72- year old matriarch, of the Redgrave dynasty had tenderly stroked Natasha's face, as she sang the melody from ' The Sound Of Music '.

What a sexy and classy lady...too bad that this had to happen. Also, my condolences to Jonas and his Family, as well as JimmyJohn...very tragic stories from you both, and I wish you best of luck for the future!

It is hard to imagiane that it could happem on a Bunny Slope. IT has been suggested that she may have had a underlaying problem. Thank you Davis for the well wishes. :shades:

I think the thing to keep in mind is that the blunt impact head injury is the result of the fall distance from how high your head is from the object (usually the ground) it strikes. It's not at all normal the speed at what you are traveling into something. Like a tree, ie Sonny Bono.

Like JJ said, wear a helmet unless your a donor. Also, remember that a $10 helmet = $10 head. I have a friend that is still "alive", that had blunt force trauma from a fall on a motorcycle. It slide out from under him at about 5 mph. His head hit a curb, and he is nothing like what he used to be. Nobody home, violent, and does not know who he is...

Finally, thanks for your condolences guys. I hope you two guys (JJ and CB) get to live alot longer. I'd certainly miss your input if you didn't come back here.
