EXCLUSIVE: Family raises alarm amid new deaths from chemical once sold by Kenneth Law

Deaths from a chemical that was sold by an Ontario-based salesman of suicide kits dropped substantially after he was arrested and jailed, but they didn’t stop, according to data provided to W5 by coroners’ services across Canada.

Those new deaths are a concerning sign that other salespeople are following in the footsteps of former Ontario chef Kenneth Law, who is expected to plead guilty to aiding and abetting suicide, say the parents of one young woman who died after ordering products from Law’s website.

“I have no words. She was my friend, my confidante, my light, my everything,” recalled Maria Lopez, the mother of Jeshennia Bedoya Lopez, who died in 2022 at just 18 years old.

Jeshennia’s father, Leonardo Bedoya, said his daughter became isolated during the pandemic, and despite her family’s attempts to deal with her depression, even taking her to a Toronto-area hospital, he found her dead in their home.

“You could see in her veins, a darkness that had something to do with something she had taken. It was nothing natural. Nothing natural about what happened,” he said.
