French actor Gaspard Ulliel, best known for playing Hannibal Lecter in "Hannibal Rising," has died at the age of 37 after a skiing accident in southeastern France.
The accident happened on Tuesday at 4 p.m. local time (10 a.m ET) at the La Rosière ski resort in the Alpine department of Savoie, according to a Wednesday statement from Albertville prosecutor's office.
After Ulliel left the top of a blue ski run, he collided with another skier and both fell to the ground, the statement said. The other skier didn't suffer any injuries.
When the emergency team arrived at the scene, Ulliel was lying still in the snow, unconscious, according to the statement.
He was airlifted to the nearby Grenoble University Hospital Center where his death was announced Wednesday afternoon.

Wow.
Played Hannibal Lecter in one of the lesser known Hannibal movies.
Sad

I’m going to bet he wasn’t wearing a helmet, and someone made a mistake (or was out of control) in a “right of way” situation.
At the top of a blue run you might pick up some speed, if it’s marked blue for lack of moguls but it has a bit of steep slope at the top.
Rest in Peace. No matter what, I recommend wearing helmets out on the slopes!

I’m trying to figure out how he dies and the other guy isn’t even hurt.

“The other skier didn’t suffer any injuries.”
Maybe he had a heart attack or stroke just before this happened.

“Helmet?”
Michael Schumacher (look him up) was wearing a helmet when he has his simple fall...on a beginners slope in 2013.
He’s still incapacitated.
I have a friend who broke his leg and almost died in a simple ski accident. BAD leg break. REAL bad.
Whose to know what happened until we know more on this accident...

I’m trying to figure out how he dies and the other guy isn’t even hurt. That's easy enough: One falls back and strikes his skull against ice and the other one doesn't.
