A worldwide probe is underway after Canadian Kenneth Law was charged with murder, accused of selling so-called suicide kits online. Law is alleged to have marketed and sold deadly doses of a chemical substance typically used as a meat preservative to individuals in over 40 countries, with the purpose of self-harm. Parents of victims claim their children's deaths could have been prevented had these toxic packages not been available for purchase.
Tom Parfitt and Noel Ramirez are two such victims, both dying after ingesting the deadly chemical from the suicide kits. Parfitt died in 2021 in England, and Ramirez passed away the following year in Colorado. Law was subsequently charged in Ontario with 14 counts each of second-degree murder and counselling and aiding suicide, although his lawyer stated that Law would be pleading not guilty to all charges.
