I am sorry everyone for not posting this sooner, but I have had a volcano near me at a danger level, and last night it finally erupted. And good news is it heading north. But now, let's get back on topic.
For those who have not heard so, I will talk a little about her and what happened...
Natasha Richardson was an English stage and screen actress. Early in her career she portrayed Mary Shelley and Patty Hearst in feature films, and she received critical acclaim and a Theatre World Award for her Broadway debut in the 1993 revival of Anna Christie. She won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance as Sally Bowles in the 1998 Broadway revival of Cabaret. Some of her notable films included Nell (1994), The Parent Trap (1998) and Maid in Manhattan (2002).
On 16 March 2009, Richardson sustained a head injury, when she fell while taking a skiing lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort in Quebec, Canada. The injury was followed by a lucid interval, where Richardson seemed to be fine and was able to talk and act appropriately. Paramedics and an ambulance which initially responded to the accident were told they were not needed and left. Refusing medical attention, she returned to her hotel room and about three hours later was taken to a local hospital after complaining of a headache. She was transferred from there by ambulance to the Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal in critical condition and was admitted about seven hours after the fall. The following day she was flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she died on 18 March.
An autopsy conducted on 19 March 2009 by the New York City Medical Examiners Office revealed the cause of death was an "epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head", and her death was ruled an accident.
From all of us here at Open Mind Podcast I would like to say how unfortunate this event is, and I would to send out my sincere apologies out to the family and friends that have been affected. I have seen some of the work from Natasha, and I have to say that there is no one that can replace her... We here at Open Mind Podcast would like to send out our condolences to the family and friends in this hard time. From all of us here, this is Shane, and I am very very sorry and I wish the best for everyone.
