Natasha Richardson Autopsy Results Show Cause Of Death As Epidural Hematoma
Posted on March 19, 2009
Natasha Richardson’s autopsy results were released and Richardson’s cause of death was an epidural hematoma (blunt trauma to the head) from her skiing accident in Canada. Read more on Natasha Richardson below.
Natasha Richardson’s cause of death according to the autopsy was an “epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head,” which means she had profound bleeding between her skull and brain.
An epidural hematoma is treatable if caught in time. Only around 20% die from this type of injury.
Richardson, 45, was not wearing a helmet while skiing and taking a private lesson on the beginner’s slope in Quebec, Canada.
Natasha Richardson’s death has been ruled an accident with cause of death as epidural hematoma.
Such a tragedy! Our thoughts are with her family.

why would Canada be blamed for an accident?Or even the sport of skiing. First of all, the helmet would have helped, secondly a head trauma and hemorrhage is difficult to diagnosed until CT scan and MRI was done. If she went to the hospital early, she could have been saved although…even then there is no guarantee to the extent of brain damage and ICP… especially that she is still conscious.
R.I.P. Natasha…
