Durham police have connected a sudden death in 2022 with sodium nitrite, a lethal substance allegedly sold to customers at risk of suicide by Mississauga man Kenneth Law.
Police services across the province have confirmed their cooperation with Peel Regional Police in their ongoing investigation of Law. Durham officers told CP24 the death connected with sodium nitrite has been re-assigned to their homicide unit.
Law, 57, was arrested by Peel police on May 2 for two counts of counselling or aiding suicide. It is alleged that Law was behind a number of online storefronts which sold sodium nitrite, a lethal substance which can be used for self-harm. Law briefly appeared in court on Wednesday. His bail has not yet been set. He is scheduled to appear for a more fulsome bail hearing in Brampton next week.
Peel police have confirmed two deaths linked to sodium nitrite consumption within their jurisdiction. They added that they are aware of the case’s considerable attention worldwide, and as such they have “augmented” their investigative team and are continuing to work with police partners across jurisdictions.
