Vanessa Redgrave

Vanessa Redgrave and Liam Neeson were photographed leaving Lennox Hill Hospital last night, just hours after it was announced that actress Natasha Richardson had died from injuries suffered in a skiing accident in Canada. Neeson, carrying a leather valise, gave a wave of acknowledgment to photographers as he was heading back to his Manhattan residence with his mother-in-law following the death of his wife on Wednesday evening.
Neeson, who rushed to his wife’s side on Monday, flew her back to New York City on Tuesday when it became obvious that she would not survive a catastrophic brain injury. Hospital officials removed the 45 year old actress from life support midafternoon on March 18, 2009, and she died surrounded by family.
Natasha Richardson is survived by husband Liam Neeson, sons Michael Neeson, 13, and Daniel Neeson, 12. She also leaves behind her mother Vanessa Redgrave, and a sister, actress Joely Richardson. She was preceded in death by her father, famed film producer Tony Richardson. Liam Neeson graciously waved to well-wishers as he went home Wednesday night, after the death of his wife Natasha Richardson.

Vanessa Redgrave

Vanessa Redgrave arriving at NYC's Lennox Hill Hospital on Tuesday night to visit her daughter Natasha Richardson, who was seriously injured in a skiing accident. Earlier today, we confirmed that Richardson was flown to New York from Canada, where she was injured in a fall during a private ski lesson. Richardson, 45, is married to Liam Neeson, and they have two children together.
As speculation mounts about Natasha Richardson’s condition after a skiing accident, the hospitalized star’s mother, Vanessa Redgrave, was spotted at the NYC emergency room where Natasha is being treated. Earlier today, “The Insider” confirmed that Richardson had been flown to New York from Canada, where she was injured in a fall during a private ski lesson. Richardson, 45, is married to Liam Neeson, and they have two children together.
Natasha’s condition is critical, and she is likely to die. Her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, and other family members, are with her. On Tuesday, a private jet flew Natasha and Liam Neeson from Canada to New York, where family and friends have gathered for a vigil. Apparently on her way to the New York hospital she was “unconscious,” her pupils “non-reactive,” her skin was “pale” and she was suffering from “major head trauma.” Liam held her hand and stoked her face as he sat in silence.
