Was Ski Resort Negligent In Natasha Richardson's Death? - Page 2
About two hours later, at 3 p.m., a second call was placed to 911, from Ms. Richardson's hotel room, as her condition deteriorated. Ambulance technicians arrived nine minutes later.
"She was conscious and they could talk to her," Mr. Coderre said. "But she showed instability."
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Mont Tremblant said the ambulance was called to the actress's room an hour after her fall. The medics tended to her for half an hour before transporting her to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste. Agathe, a 40-minute drive away. They arrived at around 4:15 p.m., or 3½ hours after Ms. Richardson fell.
The hospital stabilized the actress before transferring her less than two hours later, according to a hospital spokesman. Then she was taken by ambulance for an hour-long drive to a specialized trauma centre at Montreal's Sacré-Coeur Hospital.
At that point, it was well into the evening, around 7 p.m.
Well this new timeline is in direct conflict with reports issued from the resort, which have not responded to the new reports but have stated they "intend to fully co-operate with any resulting investigations."
While we avoided any speculation when initially reporting this tragic story, Glosslip feels this new information requires some attention. Just yesterday I heard a doctor speculating how bizarre they thought it was that Ms. Richardson would go from coherent to critical in one hour, even though this kind of injury does lends itself to tragedy. This doctor felt Ms. Richardson may have suffered from a pre-existing condition, but with this new information, it would seem perhaps negligence or at least a lack of truthfulness may be at play.
Regardless of the circumstances, Natasha Richardson's family has our condolences and prayers during this difficult time.
