Liam Neeson’s nephew, 31-year-old Roan Sexton, is reportedly fighting for his life after plummeting 20ft from the top of a telephone box in Brighton, East Sussex during a boozy night out with friends. 

 

Sexton was immediately taken to the hospital and has been confirmed to suffer from serious head injury. 

 

Police are not treating the incident as suspicious. 

 

A Sussex police spokesman said: “Just after 4am on Sunday June 22 a 31-year-old Worthing man had climbed on to the top of a telephone kiosk outside Brighton Pier when he fell 20ft to the ground, sustaining a serious head injury.

 

“He was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital and was later transferred to Hurstwood Park Hospital in Haywards Heath where he is currently in a critical condition.

 

“The man had been enjoying a night out with friends, who were present when he fell, and the incident is not being treated as suspicious.

 

“There is no further police investigation.”

 

Bernadette Sexton, Neeson’s sister, is at her son’s bedside at Hurstwood Park Hospital in West Sussex. 

 

This is considered to be another serious blow to the Taken and Schindler's List star's tragic family life. His wife, actress Natasha Richardson, died after a freak skiing accident five years ago.
