Liam Neeson Had to ‘Pull the Plug’ When His Wife Became Brain Dead – He Still Mourns Her 14 Years after Emotional Farewell

Richardson was still married to theater producer Robert Fox at the time, but their marriage was already on its last legs. However, the audience saw the chemistry between the two develop, and the actress could not deny it.

“Obviously, I fell very much in love with him,” she admitted. “The Parent Trap” star even said she finally understood why Neeson was such a heartthrob. After ending her marriage to Fox, she and Neeson got married in 1994.

The couple bought a farmhouse in New York, where their wedding ceremony was held. The same fluidity the actors had on stage was the same effortless dynamic they had in their home.

Richardson did not think she needed medical attention at first. Her husband was filming in Toronto, and after the accident, she called Neeson and said, “Darling, I’ve taken a tumble in the snow.”

But the fall had caused more damage than Richardson expected because three hours later, the “Wild Child” star was taken to hospital, and the doctors discovered she had a lucid interval, meaning her tumble had caused internal bleeding in her brain, making it a fatal brain injury.

Neeson rushed to the hospital, and the doctors told him his wife was brain dead, and right then and there, the actor had lost the love of his life.

Liam Neeson’s Last Words to Natasha Richardson

Only five years after Richardson’s passing did the father of two reveal his last words to his wife. The actor was by his wife’s hospital bed and said, “Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this. You’ve banged your head. It’s…I don’t know if you can hear me, but that’s…this is what’s gone down.”
