I reported earlier [link] about the tragic ski accident in Quebec that critically injured Liam Neeson’s wife, actress Natasha Richardson.

Since then, Time Out New York has reported that Richardson has died. However, they soon after retracted their statement and pulled their website down.

Gawker has kept tabs on it all, and says that the site is now back up – but the original link is missing. Time Out is still saying that Natasha is not expected to live through her injuries.

Many sites are already prematurely reporting her death.

TMZ claims that she is being currently transported from a Montreal hospital to one in New York, but from all the sporadic reports it sounds like nobody knows for sure if she is dead or alive.

Terribly sad. Our thoughts go out to Natasha’s friends and family.

UPDATE:

* Time Out is now reporting that Natasha is brain dead and that the family is “treating it as  a death.” Natasha was taking a ski lesson for beginners when, at some point, she took a spill. Initially she seemed fine, joking to instructors and laughing. But as time passed she began complaining of a headache as was taken to the hospital.

* TMZ says that Natasha is NOT brain dead but has some brain swelling. (See, there are SO many varying reports at this time!)
