Report: Natasha Richardson's Organs to Be Donated

Natasha Richardson's legacy will be living on in more ways than one. The late actress' family has reportedly requested that her organs be donated.

An unnamed family friend told People that the decision to go ahead with organ donation, made shortly after the 45-year-old was taken off life support, "is very Natasha."

"She spent so much time fighting the stigma of AIDS; someone like that would naturally donate her organs," the source told the magazine. "At least by donating her organs something good could come out of [the tragedy]."

Richardson died March 18, two days after falling during a ski lesson in Montreal. She was buried on Sunday near the upstate New York home shared by the actress and husband Liam Neeson.

Neeson, who was in production on the film Chloe at the time of his wife's accident, is expected to return to the Toronto set shortly.
