Fall Leads to Death of Natasha Richardson

I still recall the look of love and concern on Natasha Richardson's face when she spoke of her husband Liam Neeson's horrible motorcycle accident in 2000. He hit a deer and was thrown from his Hog just before it hit a tree. Luckily, he was wearing a helmet and although he needed therapy to recover from his broken pelvis, he eventually made a full recovery.

His wife nursed him back to health while also raising their two young sons. Now in the cruelest of fate Natasha, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, has suddenly died from what by all accounts was a simple fall on a beginner's slope.

Just this lunchtime I was discussing brain injuries, mine, my partner's, and how little researchers know about our brains---even after TIME magazine heralded in the 1990's as the "Decade of the Brain." How little we still understand about it.

Natasha Richardson, dead at age 45.
