Natasha Richardson's organs donated

LOS ANGELES — People.com is reporting that Natasha Richardson's family has donated the actress's organs to save other patients' lives. Citing a "family friend" it did not name, the celebrity Web site said Richardson's family had requested her organs be donated after she was taken off life support last week. The report did not say whether any patient had received them.

Alan Nierob, publicist for Richardson's husband Liam Neeson, said he had no information on the matter.

Richardson died March 18 of a head injury that caused bleeding on the brain after a fall during a beginners' ski lesson in Montreal two days before. She was buried at a private ceremony in upstate New York over the weekend.

The last gifts.....

such a difficult time.

That's when the doctors have to ask the family(if the deceased hadn't thought to have an organ donor card).

My deepest sympathies to Liam Neeson and family.

So many people are waiting for life-saving organs.

She was young and healthy; I hope her organs live on in others...

RIP, Ms. Richardson

My cousin has survived three kidney transplants, two of which were from deceased donors who died in similar circumstances - of head injuries.

Without the generosity of families like these, he would not be alive today.

it is very heartening to know that others will benefit from such a tragic event.
