Default UK: 88 died after they bought a substance for suicide from Canada
[NCA investigating 88 UK deaths linked
to Canadian ‘poison seller’

Intelligence suggests people bought
lethal substances online from
chef Kenneth Law to assist with suicide ]

[The UK’s National Crime Agency is
conducting an investigation into the
potential crimes committed by Kenneth Law,
a Canadian chef,
after linking him to 88 deaths in Britain.

In April, the NCA received intelligence
suggesting a large number of people in the
UK had bought substances to assist with
suicide from Canada-based websites,
after Law was caught supplying a
lethal poison to suicidal people via a
Canadian website.]

Lots of people who died through this drug were not elderly or ill

One was a healthy 21 year old. There's no dignity in it

Advertising the existence and apparent effectiveness of this substance seemed like the most logical and advisable move.
