The Facts
The UK's National Crime Agency has opened an investigation into potential links between Kenneth Law — a Canadian chef who allegedly sold substances online to assist with suicide — and 88 deaths in the country.
The deaths allegedly linked to Law started in June 2021, when 29-year-old Tom Windsor died, and continued through at least January 2023, when deaf British TikTok star Imogen Nunn took her own life.
The Spin
Narrative A
Though Kenneth Law is now behind bars, the pro-suicide forum through which he found customers and sold his products remains active and easily accessible in Canada and the UK. Action must be taken to shut it down as well before anyone else commits online assisted suicide.
Narrative B
Kenneth Law is a psychopath with a God complex who victimized young people with suicidal tendencies in the garb of offering them an escape. It's hard to understand how the police took so long to realize his potential role in the deaths despite him having been repeatedly featured in suicide investigations since 2021.
