When actress Natasha Richardson passed away following a tragic accident in 2009, she left behind two sons and her heartbroken husband Liam Neeson.

The Taken actor, who shares two sons with the late actress, has been reserved with the information he shares about her death. He sat down with Anderson Cooper in 2013, and recalled the day he said goodbye to his wife. He shared that the couple had made a pact, that if one was left in a vegetative state the other would step in to remove life support. Neeson remembered the difficult decision, which had one tiny silver lining.

“We donated three of her organs," he said, "So, she’s keeping three people alive at the moment.”

“Her heart, her kidneys and her liver,” Neeson continued. Cooper asked if that gives Neeson a good feeling to which he replied, “It’s terrific. I think she would be really thrilled and pleased with that too.”

He admitted in the same interview with Anderson Cooper that he used work as a distraction in the years after her death, saying, 'I'm not good without work. I just didn't want to, especially for my boys, to seem to be wallowing in sadness or depression.'"
