Sad

Natasha Richardson, wife of Liam Neeson- daughter of Vanessa Redgrave is apparently brain dead after a skiing accident in Canada. The family is reportedly being gathered and a statement is expected later today. There was some initial confusion with reports that she wasn't brain dead last night- but apparently those reports have been dialed back today.

Either way, to me this is just incredible sad. She was getting a ski lesson on a beginner's hill- where helmets are not required when she fell and then a few hours later started to feel sick. It sounds like the ski instructors followed procedure and recommended she see a doctor-- and now this. Make you wonder just what exactly happened, given the fact that by all reports she walked away from the fall and didn't start feeling sick until hours later.

Sad nonetheless- the family is in my thoughts today.
