MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Trending on Twitter, apparently she has suffered a heart attack 🙁
Given her lifestyle that is not a total surprise. Healing vibes to her
Hope she pulls through. 2016 can't finish like this!
Ive been in love with her since i can remember
really hope shes ok
Don't you ****ing dare 2016.
On a flight? 🙁
Hope she pulls through. Reading between the lines doesn't sound good though.
No, doesn't sound good at all.
Shit noooooooooo!!!!!!!
received CPR on a flight to LA from London; doesn't say how long for. But agree, doesn't sound good.
As Adam Hills on the Last Leg just said '2016 - just don't ****ing dare'
Oh FFS... 2016 you utter **** you.
I hope she's okay, but it doesn't sound good.
There was a doctor and nurse on board, but she went into full cardiac arrest, the chances of surviving that is slim even without being on a plane at the time.
Apparently not breathing for 10 minutes. Doesn't sound good at all.
She is a tourtured sole.
As Adam Hills on the Last Leg just said '2016 - just don't **** dare'
Bastard stole my line.
Fingers crossed...
Hope she makes a full recovery.
Seams like she got looked after, but serious situ for her, Hope she pulls thru.
A long cardiac arrest isn't good. Oxygen starvation to the brain being an issue. If her heart was restarted after so long it'll take a while to work out the ramifications.
FFS. 2016 has been a 5 star fur lined ocean going nuclear powered 4 funnelled gold plated glow in the dark bag of shit. We don't need this to cap it off.
Finger crossed.
🙁

Not a bad place to have a heart attack. Personnel trained in first aid and they probably have a defibrillator on board. Better than dropping down in the street or in bed.
Articles seem to keep using heart attack and cardiac arrest interchangeably?

They do, but they mean different things. She's had a cardiac arrest; if memory serves the commonest cause of these out of hospital is indeed a heart attack (though there are other potential causes especially in the context of long-haul flight e.g. PE) but the overwhelming majority of people who have heart attacks don't arrest.
(GMC no available on request)
she's gone.
🙁
Have you got a link?
As of 2hrs ago she was in a stable condition according to the News agencies - not a single thing saying otherwise.

Seems to be confirmed now by a few bigger entertainment sites...
Oh, well that's really sad.
🙁
****'s sake, 2016. Haway man.
very very sad
Just confirmed by the Beeb. 😥
It's just all too much.

Stable in the context of critical care doesn't mean much except they're not getting worse though. After 30 min down could well mean not on any inotropes/vasopressor and not waking with the sedation off.

I'm aware of that - my comment was the fact that the latest update as I typed was 2hrs old at that point.
There was nothing from any other site showing any different.
Blimey, another one.

Of all the celebs who have passed away this one is prob the first I felt I had some attachment to. Rip princess...may the force be with you 🙁
Apparently she'd finished filming on SW8, so we'll get to see Leia one more time..
#bittersweet..
Heard about it just before watching Rogue One, during the trailers.
🙁
An absolute hero to me.
Apart from adoring her in Star Wars it was the way she was so outspoken about Mental Health and took on the role of the unofficial poster child of the manic depressive!
Took a lot of flak when she first opened up about it in the 90's but was one of the first major celebrities to do so and was a wonderful advocate until the end.
She will be missed..
Don't usual comment on these RIP threads but as a Star Wars fan I'm I little sad this morning, as well as Leia she will also be that mad Girlfriend from the Blue Brothers to me.
Yes,
Very sad.
A total legend and every boys dream when I was younger.
She will be missed.
Max
Staggered to hear of yet another idol's passing in what can only be described as the darkest of years... I've been indifferent regarding many of the sad passings this year, but taking both Prince and Carrie in the same year has not been kind!
2016 looks to be finishing just as it started, the remorseless outlier that ****ed with many of our childhood fantasies!
I'm just glad that I'll always be a little short to be a stormtrooper...
Very sad news as she was definitely a liver of life. Is it wrong to be jealous of Jabba the Hutt, what with THAT costume and all?
[url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38455653 ]seems like her mum has found it tough[/url]
@ Klunk.
There's some real venom in there, masked slightly by the humour.
I watched A New Hope again today and I'd forgotten her incredible smile, which you can see signs of in that clip. It's a shame she didn't smile more in life.
Eek! That's Debbie Reynolds now too. Can't imagine what her family are going through.
Her Mum too?.... 😥
Crumbs!
Chances of surviving a cardiac arrest outside of hospital is around 1%.....not good even with good CPR from a Dr and Nurse on the flight.
Depends on how much of her heart died during the cardiac arrest as to how bad her heart failure was afterwards, someone can look on the up and then suddenly crash.
RIP

IIRC it's better than that - non-shockable arrests in hospital have a 4% survival to discharge and I'm sure out of hospital, especially when witnessed, is higher than that.
[i]Edit - Google suggests the [url= http://www.sca-aware.org/sca-news/aha-releases-latest-statistics-on-out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest ]AMA stats[/url] give 5.2% as worst case, and 31.7% for witnessed, shockable arrests[/i]
RIP to Debbie Reynolds, it must be desperately sad to see your child die.
^^Can't imagine anything worse.

One thing one of my Uncles said at my Gran's funeral last week was that she had lived to be 96 without having to bury any of her children.
