News Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack

It's a shock. I, too, hope she doesn't die. However, it is not looking good. She is in critical condition.

"Critical Condition" need not be that serious, it's pretty much doctor-speak for "SNAFU", "you're messed up and not doing well, but things could turn out fine."

I do hope for the best of her, but 2016 isn't done with us yet and "Critical Condition" while need-not mean "fatal" it's hardly a death sentence.
 
All I can say is, may the Force be with her.

Right. Medically, "critical" means "having unstable and abnormal vital signs and other unfavorable indicators, as loss of appetite, poor mobility, or unconsciousness." It's the adjective form of "crisis," which basically means a decision point, an event whose outcome determines whether things get better or worse.
 
2016 has been a particularly devastating year for legends of music, stage, and screen. I've never known such a year where the "In Memorandum" show will have to be a three-part miniseries.

I can only give my best wishes to her and her family, and hope the news is not as dire as it could be.
 
Damn, looks like things aren't looking so good after all. The brother is saying she's still in intensive care and things are still very uncertain. :(
