In Ontario, Canada, former chef Kenneth Law, 58, was charged with 14 counts of murder in Canada for "counseling or aiding" suicides. Apparently Law sold "suicide kits" containing a food additive that can be deadly if consumed in large amounts.
According to CBS News, Law "targeted vulnerable people online" and sent 1,200 orders to people across more than 40 countries:
In Britain, at least 272 people purchased products from Law's websites and 88 of them died, police there have said.
Alerted by Interpol, several other countries have launched investigations, including New Zealand and Italy, where nine buyers have been identified and one victim has died.
