How did Liam Neeson’s wife pass away?
At the Mont Tremblant Resort, some 130 kilometers (81 miles) from Montreal, Richardson was taking a beginner's skiing lesson when she fell and suffered a head injury. She initially resisted receiving medical attention, but approximately two hours after the accident, she began to complain of a terrible headache.
Richardson was transported by air to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she succumbed to an epidural hematoma two days later.
In a statement released the day of her passing, Richardson's family said: "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love, and prayers of everyone and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
As a gesture of respect for Richardson, theater lights were darkened on March 19, 2009, on Broadway in Manhattan and on London's West End. The American Irish Historical Society in Manhattan hosted a private viewing the day after.
A private funeral was held on March 22, 2009, at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Millbrook, New York, which is close to the family's residence in upstate New York.
In the churchyard, Richardson was laid to rest close to her maternal grandmother, Rachel Kempson. On May 8, 2010, Richardson's aunt, Lynn Redgrave, was also buried in the same churchyard.
