Natasha Richardson Alive and Well
MANHATTAN — Doctors at Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City have brought British actress Natasha Richardson back to life, who had been pronounced dead March 18, 2009. Doctors attempted an experimental cardiac defibrillation that has only been attempted on a human subject twice since 2006 at local labs in Long Island, New York. Doctors had tried this procedure on rats and had an only 4% survival rate.
Liam Neeson was told of this procedure by Doctor Samuel Garfield, who was taking care of Mrs. Richardson during her stay at Lennox Hill Hospital after her ski injury at Mont Tremblant resort at Canada. He had told Liam Neeson of this experimental procedure after “…realizing that this would be a perfect, nothing to lose scenario to try it,” Doctor Samuel Garfield told the press. Liam gave him the go-ahead approval to perform the operation on Natasha, which Dr. Samuel Garfield performed himself on Tuesday, March 31, at 11 p.m.
To the layman, this heart defibrillation is basically just a much more severe, intense type of what most people know as basic cardiac defibrillation. It involves a much larger electric current and is sent into the body at different intervals, as well as targeting different areas of the heart. This procedure would instantly kill any living subject, but it was found to restore life to lab rats in 2006 when a Long Island doctor attempted it on a rat that had died in a drug experiment.
Natasha Richardson had fallen on the bunny slope at Mont Termblant resort in Quebec in an attempt to beat up a five-year old snowboarder who had given her a raspberry.
She is currently recovering in Lennox Hill hospital where her husband, Liam Neeson, had been sleeping and drinking heavily in her room before her miraculous recovery Tuesday night. Mr. Neeson and relatives had told the press that Mrs. Richardson was buried in upstate New York, when, in actuality, her body had undergone freezing and was kept safe underground in a perfect state for the procedure. Dr. Garfield told press that it was his idea to have Mrs. Richardson because he was one of the few doctors in the area that was aware of the experimental defibrillation procedure, and he wanted to have the option to try it, after he would supposedly get permission from the hospital to carry out the treatment. Natasha is still unconscious but is expected to wake within the next couple weeks.
Richardson is best known for a Heinz ketchup commercial she did in the late 80s, where she poured ketchup on a burger while the camera visually insinuated that she was pleasuring herself with the bottle.

Lindsay and BFF Sam Ronson were spotted at a Larchmont Village restaurant in L.A. recently. When Sam took a quick trip to the restroom, Lindsay was spotted by fellow patrons sneaking into the back kitchen and drinking sanitation solution. Apparently Sam was suspicious after she came back to the table and Lindsay burped a bubble.
Although the paparazzi never actually got a shot of Lindsay pouring liquor into her espresso beverage, an employee at a local Starbucks said Lindsay had ordered a drink from him and asked if he could put vodka in it. Being a disgruntled minimum-wage employee, he actually had vodka on him and filled her request.
Paparazzi where able to get an up close glimpse of Lindsay’s A.A. treatment book, where upon opening, they found it hollowed out with a flask that smelled “Like something our grandfathers use to clean their carburetors with,” they told BTH.
Lindsay was spotted smuggling a potent clear liquid inside the end of her sunglasses. The razzi caught her drinking the alcohol after a simple twist off of the end piece a’ la the old prohibition canes.
Paparazzi sneaked photos of Lindsay drinking out of her pool, right before getting word from her neighbors that they had found hundreds of empty bottles of Blue Curacao liqueur in their recycling. Current thought is that her hot tub is also filled with vodka after she was spotted mixing hot tub water with pool water in a highball glass with ice, than adding pineapple juice and an orange peel.
Last Thursday, Li-Lo was spotted buying carts of Listerine and Nyquil at a Vons supermarket. When asked by a paparazzi about her shopping choices, Lindsay responded “I just have gingivitis w/ cold symptoms.”
Lindsay was caught using a hollowed out fake cigarette to hold overproof liquor. The cigarette was easily found to be fake after, well, Lindsay was seen drinking overproof liquor out of it. Apparently Camel is interested in Lindsay having her own cigarette line so the company can make an unprecedented foray into the currently untapped celebrity alcoholic market.
Lindsay was seen walking out of a local LA bakery carrying orange and chocolate liqueur cupcakes. A passerby mentioned to Lindsay that the alcohol cooks out and Lindsay immediately went back inside and asked if she could make a return.
Li-Lo was spotted hiding vodka in her water bottle as she was on her way to meet with her agent last week in Hollywood. Paparazzi knew it was vodka after they saw Lindsay get hit by a parked car.
A photo leaked of Lindsay having Sam Ronson attempting to cut open her breast. This photo is cropped but the original caught a glimpse of Li-Lo’s computer in the background with a website about how drinking pureed cilicone has psychoactive effects similar to tequila.
I will preface all of this by stating that you might have to be a basket case to appreciate how beautiful this album is. I’m not sure, because I was a mess when I downloaded it and it knocked me off my feet it was so good. Good in this case is defined by the amount of times it allows the heartbroken to identify through gobs of tissues not only with the words but with the haunting instrumentals. If you do love and appreciate the Female Singer Songwriter genre and appreciate Tori Amos, Sia, Shelby Lynne and Sarah McLachlan, etc. then you should be able to appreciate this album at any time.
The album however, does not end there. Uncharacteristically, Yamagata tries her hand at a sound she has not yet recorded. She excels at the sounds of misery, but angst with a potentially pop-y beat? I didn’t expect this. The angst continues through this segment and though at first listen it may appear as though she’s trying to tack an EP of new sounds at the end of this album, upon further listening, it confirms and continues the initial path of the album.
