Kenneth Law

Kenneth Law (born 1965) is a Canadian man who was charged with shipping sodium nitrite, a potentially lethal substance, to people intending to kill themselves.

[11] In 2016, wanting a "lifestyle change",[12] he found employment as a cook at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, where he was filmed partaking in a labour union turf dispute.

[17] Toronto Life reported that these sites, in addition to selling suicide paraphernalia, also offered hot sauce and C$150 "consultation calls" with Law.

[18] The Sunday Times reported that one of these allegedly Law-operated websites appeared "innocent enough" and had a background of cold meats and a cheese board.

[15] An account known as Greenberg, who claimed to be a retired New York doctor, promoted Law's products on suicide forums and ran a pro-suicide blog.

[19] After a British woman committed suicide with sodium nitrite in April 2022, the coroner investigating her death noted the involvement of a Mississauga post office and Imtime Cuisine, an allegedly Law-operated business.

[20] After his son Tom committed suicide in 2021 with sodium nitrite, a man named David Parfett discovered a connection to Kenneth Law, who allegedly sold him the chemical.

Beal called Law, who admitted to selling sodium nitrite and allegedly confessed to instructing customers on how to commit suicide.

[4] As of February 2025, he was planning on pleading not guilty, with his lawyer stating that Law only sold an "otherwise legal product on the open market.

[29] In 2024, the Toronto Star reported that victims' families suspected that Law sold sodium nitrite on Sanctioned Suicide, but was unable to independently verify the allegation.

[30] In September 2024, the family of Jeshennia Bedoya Lopez, an Ontario woman who was suicidal and used products allegedly sold by Law to end her life, filed a lawsuit against him in the Newmarket Superior Court.
