It is also possible that she suffered a torn artery in the neck, which would produce similar symptoms but would potentially be more lethal, Black said. The situation could also be more severe if she had any inherent problems before the accident, such as a tendency to not clot well or an arteriovenous malformation in the brain -- basically a tangle of blood clots -- that could tear apart in an accident and cause bleeding.

Thats what hubby and I were discussing. Chiropractors can accidently rip your artery in your neck while doing adjustments. A young woman in Ontario died from that a few years back and her parents were trying to change Chiro procedures because of it.

There have been people who died from letting their friends "crack" their necks for them. I used to let a friend do that for me until I read how dangerous it is.

That's something I've been wondering about. My son, at 9 years old, suffered a stroke due to a venous malformation. He wasn't involved in any strenuous activity at the time that the vessels burst, he was calmly watching a program in the auditorium of his school.

It's said that Natasha suffered an injury as a result of a fall, yet she didn't collide with anything. I wonder if she didn't actually fall as a result of an underlying condition, such as burst vessel in her brain.

I've recently learned that many older people do not fall and break their hip, in reality, their hip breaks and causes them to fall. I wonder if this isn't something similar...in other words, which came fist, the brain bleed or the fall?

Good Lord, chilly willy - I am so sorry to hear that and hope he made a full recovery! :blowkiss:

This has really upset me. My own mom Yulia passed away three weeks ago from a similar injury. I felt someone had to have had a hand in her death because it was so sudden and quick. She was in her early 40s. It wasn't a bad fall, and she was even checked out by paramedics. It wasnt until a few hours later she collapsed and by the time they got her to the hospital she was also brain dead and on a breathing tube.

This kind of thing can happen. Its no mystery. It saddens me to see it happen all over again to someone else. It doesnt have to be from skiing, etc. You dont have to be taking any risks etc. I didn;t understand it or want to believe it (and I have suffered severe head trauma so I know first hand how it works).

I am so sorry to hear that about your Mom, Carla, and I am sure this story brings up all sorts of feelings for you. Be gentle with yourself. :blowkiss:

This has always given me the creeps. No way would I let someone do that to me!! I'm afraid they'd break my back!
 
Carla ((())) on the loss of your mom as well.

I am so sad about this accident happening to Natasha Richardson. I can't tell you how many hours my girls spent watching her in the remake of the Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan and Dennis Quaid. They used to act out the entire movie.

I am so sad for her family.
 
Carla- a big hug to you. When my son had his TBI there was another young man, 15 years old. He was hit in the head with a ball at school. He appeared to be fine, stayed rest of day and then that night when he took his shower he was in terrible pain from blood clot. He did not die but has never recovered-still bed ridden -a very sad situation.

My thoughts and prayers are with Natasha and her family.
 
My thoughts and prayers are going out to the Richardson family. This is so sad :(
 
Ugh - I can't get onto TMZ here at work. Can anyone snip some of the article?

Natasha Richardson has been taken off life support, according to NYC legendary columnist, Liz Smith.

Smith has extremely close ties to the whole Broadway scene and is certainly in a position to know. Smith says as of 1:30 PM ET today, Natasha was taken off life support.
 
I agree. I cringed when the photographer was yelling "how do you feel?" to her mother and then her sons. How does he think they feel. Dumba**es.
