Kenneth Law
Biography
Kenneth M. Law (born 1965) is a Canadian man who sold a lethal chemical to suicidal people from 2020 until his arrest in May 2023. Law sold packages linked to 14 deaths in Ontario, 79 deaths in the UK, and more elsewhere. His products reached 40 countries and, according to a CBC News investigation, killed at least 147 worldwide. He also actively participated in forums promoting suicide and encouraged others to kill themselves with his product. He was initially charged with two counts of assisting suicide, with charges expanded and upgraded to 14 counts of first-degree murder relating to deaths in Ontario. These charges were ultimately downgraded and Law pled guilty to 14 counts of assisting suicide in May 2026. He is scheduled to be sentenced in September 2026, with deaths in the UK being taken into account. Sodium nitrite, the substance that Law sold, is not restricted in Canada and is also a food additive. Law also sold items such as masks or hoods that were used in suicides.
