Kenneth Law, a Canadian man charged with 14 counts of counselling or aiding suicide for selling lethal sodium nitrite online, agreed to plead guilty. Prosecutors will drop all murder charges against him. 

Law allegedly sent over 1,200 packages worldwide and is under investigation in multiple countries. While assisted suicide is legal in Canada under strict conditions, promoting suicide remains illegal. He was arrested in May 2023 and faces a maximum 14-year sentence for aiding suicide.
