Micheal Neeson opens up about the death of mom Natasha Richardson

Wednesday marks six years since the tragic death of beloved actress Natasha Richardson. In a new interview, her oldest son admits he hit rock bottom trying to cope with the crippling loss.Richardson died following a skiing accident in 2009 while she was vacationing in Quebec with her sons Micheál and Daniel. She was married to actor Liam Neeson for 15 years. In 2014, Neeson sat down with 60 Minutes and told Anderson Cooper what it was like at the very end.

"[I] said 'Sweetie, you're not coming back from this, you've banged your head," he recounted to Cooper.

Richardson and Neeson's eldest son Micheál said he turned to drinking and drugs after his mother's accident. He was just 13-years-old at the time.

"I was going out, partying a lot, looking for self-gratification. I wanted to be the man, doing these drugs [...] Everybody said, 'This kid has lost his mum, that's where the problem comes from'. And I was like, 'No, it isn't, I just like to party," he said in an Interview with The Sunday Times Style Magazine.

The now-19-year-old went on to say that it wasn't until last year that he hit bottom and checked himself into rehab. This is the first time Micheál Neeson has opened up about the death of his mother. He's promoting his new fashion gallery in London.
