Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson

Actress Natasha Richardson, 45,  is in extremely critical condition following a ski accident.  She’s the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and wife of Liam Neeson.  She and Liam have two teenaged sons.

“There is no chance,” a family friend told PEOPLE on Tuesday night. “It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead.”

Natasha’s doctors described the condition as  a “leakage of blood between the brain and skull.”  The family now has the impossibly difficult decision of when to remove her from life support.

The actress suffered the devastating head injury Monday while skiing on a beginner’s slope outside Montreal. Reportedly, at least one of sons was with her. Her husband, Liam Neeson, 56, raced from a Toronto movie set to be with her as she was hospitalized. He was recently seen in the back of an ambulance with his wife.

Friends and family are keeping vigil and our thoughts and prayers are with them all.
