RIP :(

Omg, this is so weird the way it happened.
My sons go there to ski all of the time.

never heard of her, but god bless her loved ones... RIP

It is pretty tragic. At least it didn't turn into a drawn out Terry Schaivo affair.

I was there snowboarding over the weekend

It was my last trip for the year to the slopes and there was lots if very solid ice on the ground I bruised my ribs after flying like superman down a run

Its really sad. I feel for her family losing her so suddenly.

I do find it odd that they said she had an unspectacular fall but insisted that she be taken off the mountain in the sled and get off the slopes

people fall down all the time and are not told to get off the slopes and rest

hell I fell down 30 times the first time I tried it.

RIP Natasha, you're missed :)

When I think of all the times I fell on my head or got hit in the head or face when I was growing up.. man I was just lucky I guess.

Now watch our "good medias" take over the story and the fact that we must wear a helmet when skiing.

RIP Natasha :(

Talented family.So sad news....God rest her soul

That explains a lot :winkwink::winkwink:

Seriously though, so sad to see someone lose their life over such an everyday type accident.

The media is already starting to get into the blame game. The Globe & Mail is reporting that paramedics were "turned away" when they responded to Richardson, but were then called again later when she collapsed in her room.

Let's see how this plays out, and whether or not it results in some sort of inquest and/or legislation or procedural changes that cost huge amounts of money by doing something ridiculous like requiring that paramedics be called, respond, and treat all persons who fall on the ski slope, regardless of apparent severity and/or lack of any injuries. I know that may sound extreme, even ridiculous, but then again extreme and ridiculous is often the route taken by politicians, particularly when in so doing they can make it look, to the public, like they are actually doing something.

Liam Neeson has played SO MANY characters who's wives have died... Bah

The accident is really stupid and tragic ... It must be a tragedy for her husband, Liam Neeson, to see his wife die out of nothing ... I liked her as an actress, she looked very cute as well, God rest her soul ... :(

really sad

May she rest in peace

That's horrible. I can't imagine going through that. Liam Neeson has always seemed like such a decent guy.

I feel really bad for Liam and his kids.

thats horrible RIP

Poor Liam and the kids.

that's why i dont go skiing
r.i.p.

I always thought that she was kind of cute. Good actress.

RIP. Poor kids.

She also refused to wear a helmet durring her lessons.
That mountain is only a few miles from me and this time of year is more like a bobsled run with all the ice.

This is sad

I was just there at Mont Tremblant in January, and my buddy broke his arm. Its pretty easy to break something while skiing or snowboarding. The media is already starting to make buzz about making helmets mandatory now for ski slopes. I think its a good idea.

Bomber

Damm this life and it's fatality...
