Family Friend: 'There Is No Chance' for Natasha Richardson
As Natasha Richardson remained in a New York hospital, her family and friends had all but given up hope that she'll recover from a severe head injury.
"There is no chance," a family friend told PEOPLE on Tuesday night. "It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead."
Her dire condition – doctors described it to those close to Richardson as "leakage of blood between the brain and skull," the friend says – has the actress's family coming to grips with potentially having to make an unthinkably difficult decision. "It's not official yet," says the friend, "but they basically will detach her."
Richardson, 45, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave, suffered a devastating head injury Monday while skiing on a beginner's slope outside Montreal during a trip with at least one of her two sons. Her husband, Liam Neeson, 56, raced from a Toronto movie set to be with her as she was hospitalized.
On Tuesday, a private jet brought them both to New York, where family and friends gathered for a vigil. Reps for the family have declined to comment on Richardson's medical condition.

Re: Family Friend: 'There Is No Chance' for Natasha Richardson
Oh no, I had such a bad feeling. With head injuries - bleeds on the brain and blood clots along with swelling can happen so easily and without any physical sign or warning.
This is heart breaking for her family. I can really feel for what they are going through right now - it is so scary and such a sad time.

I'm surprised that they would have moved her in such serious condition.

Re: Family Friend: 'There Is No Chance' for Natasha Richardson
I am heartbroken for her family if this is true.. and I am appalled at a 'family friend' who would speak to a gossip magazine when her family has opted not to comment yet.
