    I can't believe a story hasn't been posted about this yet; it's pretty recent news. The head injury they refer to below could either have been an aneurysm (when an artery's wall weakens and balloons out, until it bursts) or what a video linked on the site below describes as "brain rotation"-damage and tearing to the brain as a result of being rotated in the skull after a tramatic impact, such as a fall. It is known thus far that she was not wearing a helmet.

    Heard she was injured, but I didn't know she died.

    Sad way to go. :(

    Richardson. Where do I know that name? I've never even heard of any Natasha Richardson, so where do I know that name? D*mnit, it's gonna bug me for the rest of the night, now.

    On topic, that "brain rotation" sounds pretty painful. Definitely not the way I want to go. If she wasn't wearing a helmet, then... well, it's entirely likely.

    Let me help jog your memeroy. Remember the remake of The Parent Trap, in which Lindsey Lohan starred as the twin girls? Richardson was the mother they were trying to get reunited with their dad.

    Supposedly she had gone from joking about her fall to being braindead to just being dead. I remember hearing she was braindead yesterday morning, so they must have just had family and friends come to say goodbye before disconnecting her from life support.

    It's so sad what happened to her. She was brain dead and her family pulled the plug...

    the same exact thing happened to JF Kennedy's (the president) brothers' son.

    I feel bad for her sons. :(

    At first she didn't feel any pain; infact she got up from her fall and laughed about it.

    Then about an hour later back at her hotel room she collapsed with a terrible headache.

    My mum told me she died this morning D:

    I feel terrible for the family, especially Liam =/ He was filming at the time and had to rush over to be at her side.

    Regards and best wishes to the family <3
