The British advertising watchdog has banned an advertisement by skiwear4less.com. The advert showed an image of Natasha Richardson as part of an effort to sell ski helmets. The email sent to clients showed an image of Natasha Richardson with the words: "We regret to inform you that British actress Natasha Richardson has died in hospital this morning, after suffering a head injury in a skiing accident in Mont Tremblant, Canada." The email was banned after two compaints and was deemed 'likely to cause offence'.
