Natasha Richardson, a revered theater actress and member of the famed Redgrave family, has died after suffering a head injury from a skiing accident. She was 45.
She passed away Wednesday at New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital.
"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha," Neeson's rep tells Usmagazine.com in a statement. "They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”
Richardson fell during a private lesson on a beginners trail Monday at the Mont Tremblant ski resort near Montreal.
The British-born actress, who was not wearing a helmet, seemed fine at first: She had no visible injuries and was even laughing and joking after the accident, a resort rep told Usmagazine.com.
About an hour later, she complained of a headache and was taken to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe. She was later transferred to Hopital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal. Neeson, who was in Toronto shooting a movie, rushed to her side.
Richardson was held overnight and released Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. Along with Neeson, she flew, via private jet, to New York City, where she was hospitalized at Lenox Hill Hospital.
