Guinness heiress, 19, dies in pool tragedy: Family mourn ’darling angel’ whose organs have saved four lives after freak accident at summer barbecue

 

She was their ‘darling angel’ with a heart of gold and everything to live for, But tragedy has struck the aristocratic Guinness family with the death of teenage heiress Honor Uloth in a freak swimming pool accident. Last night her ‘utterly devastated’ family paid an emotional tribute – and revealed how the 19-year-old’s wish for her organs to be donated has saved other lives. They said: ‘She always made it clear that if anything happened to her, she would like her organs to be donated to those in need.‘The doctors say that, with the matches they have found, it looks like she is going to help save four lives and seriously enhance ten more.’

Miss Uloth was found unconscious at the bottom of a swimming pool during a family barbecue in the summer. This week a coroner ruled it was a tragic accident.Her family said: ‘We have lost a daughter and sister who brought untold light and joy into our lives. She was so full of fun, laughter, kindness and adventure. She had this knack of bringing people together and making them feel good.’

The eldest daughter of Rupert Uloth and Lady Louisa Jane Guinness, whose father Benjamin Guinness was the 3rd Earl of Iveagh, she was spotted in the pool by her 15-year-old brother Rufus. He dived in to help her, the inquest heard. He pulled her out, but doctors were unable to save the Oxford Brookes University history of art student. She had suffered a broken shoulder and brain injuries, and she was pronounced dead in hospital six days later.The current Earl of Iveagh and the Guinness brewery family have an estimated worth of around £906million, and Miss Uloth’s death is the latest of a series of tragedies to strike the dynasty.

Tracy Morgan in intensive care after 6-car crash

 Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was in intensive care Saturday after the limousine bus he was riding in was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike, state police said

The vehicle carrying the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" cast member and six others was involved in a six-vehicle accident on the turnpike near Cranbury Township at about 1 a.m. Saturday, Sgt. First Class Greg Williams told The Associated Press.

Williams said one person died in the crash that occurred in the northbound lanes of the turnpike near mile marker 71.5.

A spokesman at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, says a patient named Tracy Morgan is in critical condition there.

There was no immediate word on other injuries from the accident.

Williams says two tractor-trailers, a sports utility vehicle and two cars, along with Morgan's limo bus, were involved in the accident. There is no immediate word on the cause of the pileup.

The 45-year-old New York City native joined "Saturday Night Live" in 1996 and was on the sketch-comedy program for seven years before leaving to star in "The Tracy Morgan Show" in 2003. That show lasted just one season. In 2006, Morgan found a long-running role in NBC's hit show "30 Rock," which was created by SNL co-star Tina Fey.

Morgan grew up fatherless, one of five siblings, in a blighted section of Brooklyn, where he helped raise and support the family.

He once called his gift for being funny "a defense mechanism" for his miserable circumstances.

As a teen he started doing comedy on the streets to supplement the family's welfare income.

In late 2010, Morgan had a kidney transplant.

The New Jersey Turnpike was closed for more than five hours after the crash and was reopened at about 6:30 a.m.

(Photo) Oh Damn!! Tyga Gets In A BAD Accident & Crashes His Lamborghini!

Earlier this morning, Tyga got in a pretty bad accident – luckily it wasn’t fatal. Looking at the picture it seems as if he swerved off the road (hopefully not drunk driving), but is grateful for his life. His car looks like it fell off the road and into a desert, where he was probably running and early morning race or more likely.. shooting a music video. Thankfully, the Compton rapper was wearing a seat belt, captioning the photo, “Just crashed my lambo. Thank God for the seatbelt!” is safe. But the car? Not so good. All that matters is that he’s okay! See how bad the accident looked by the photo he instagram’d earlier, in the gallery!

Lindsay Lohan lied to cops about car accident, could have probation revoked: report

Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic

A report says actress Lindsay Lohan allegedly lied to police about the circumstances surrounding the car crash in which she was involved on the Pacific Coast Highway last week.

Lindsay Lohan can’t seem to catch a break.
The “Liz and Dick” actress, who was briefly hospitalized after a serious collision with an 18-wheeler Friday afternoon, finds herself entangled in a legal mess once again.
The 25-year-old starlet told Santa Monica police she was not behind the wheel at the time of the accident, insisting that her assistant was the one who was driving and left the front of her rental Porsche smashed after it collided with a truck along Pacific Coast Highway, according to TMZ.
Unfortunately for Lohan, however, her assistant later told police that the “Mean Girls” star had been in the driver’s seat.
Eyewitnesses at the scene told TMZ that both Lohan and her assistant had climbed out of the passenger side of the car, proof that the actress spun the lie immediately after the accident.
Lying to police officials is considered a crime, and if prosecuted, Lohan could possibly have her probation revoked and face consequent jail time.
James, who claimed he didn’t recognize the starlet, immediately called the cops after Lohan and her posse — a Cadillac Escalade full of people seemingly involved with her current film — tried to slip away from the scene of the crime.
They “told me this was some kind of famous person and they didn’t want it to be in the media,” James told TMZ. “But I’d already called 911 because they were trying to get away from the scene.”
The truck driver added that Lohan’s people offered him cash on the spot to not report the accident.
Lohan and her camp is vehemently denying any such transaction.
The actress’ rep, Steve Honig, tells TMZ that Lohan was compliant with the police officials’ demands, and that James is clearly just another person looking to cash in on Lohan’s fame.
“It seems to me once he realized he wasn’t going to get anything from Lindsay he decided to get cash by telling tales to the tabloids,” Honig told People magazine. “I hope he got whatever money he was looking for. Personally, all I care about is that Lindsay and her assistant Gavin are okay.”
Lohan previously told her friends that faulty brakes may have caused the accident, while a source told the News that paparazzi were to blame.
“She’s alright. She’s not badly injured, but her assistant is pretty banged up,” the well-placed source told the News. “I can tell you paparazzi was chasing her when she got cut off.”
