Update: Natasha Autopsy Results
The New York City medical examiner's office concluded that Natasha Richardson died of blunt impact to the head.
The death was ruled an accident and the cause of death is listed as "epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head," according to NYC medical examiner spokeswoman Ellen Borakove.
The Tony Award-winning actress fell during a ski lesson in Canada on Monday. Initially, Natasha said she felt fine and, according to a paramedic called to the scene, an ambulance was turned away.
Later she developed a headache and was taken to the hospital. Husband Liam Neeson rushed to her side and then had her transported to New York City where friends and relatives said their last goodbyes.
Funeral arrangements are being made.

My wife swears it wont be long before a wrongful death suite is filed by Natasha Richardson family or Liam Neeson. I said, ""NO WAY" everyone knows an ambulance was called and everything possible was done but my wife says, "Just Wait and See" I hope she is wrong because it was no one's fault just an unavoidable accident and she did refuse treatment..but sadly my wife is never wrong.

God bless her family. I saw her in Evening and it was so beautiful. Looks like her family shared alot of love. I hit my head last year in a freak accident and had a neck fracture and concussion and jammed my foot and other neck injuries and then had no help from who caused it but friends and family helped. It was extreme effects and a rough year and now trying to get up and past it. I am sorry for their loss.
