RIP Bridget O'Brien

confirmed that Bridget and her husband (Hayden Sweeney) while touring with his band Electric Starfish were killed in an auto accident.

US police believe Ms O’Brien, 26, swerved to try to avoid a deer that had wandered onto the highway near Cleveland, Ohio.

rest peacefully Bridget and Hayden

I used to be her editor and lost touch since her move to Australia. if anyone has recently worked with her, please, please contact me 917-539-3591 if you have any recent photos of her. Our old newspaper, Newsday in New York, would like to run a nice obit of her. She was so young and so talented and a joy to work with. Thanks everyone.

We are all missing Bridget and Hayden very much and appreciate everybody’s support. Arrangements for services have not been made as of yet, but we hope to have more information soon. Her friends have setup a great website to post photos and memories of Bridget at:

If you know of anybody who knew Bridget in New York or abroad, please contact them for us as we have limited contacts for her friends and collegues. We will post more information here as it becomes available. We appreciate all of the support, memories and love.

I was so shocked to read this. I knew Bridget from high school in AZ and professionally while she was in New York. She was an incredible young woman. My heart goes out to her family and friends around the world.
