Tragic news from Cardiff: A young woman’s life was cut short after purchasing a lethal substance from a Canadian seller. Danielle Cornish, just 29, passed away in August 2022, a heartbreaking victim of Kenneth Law’s deadly dealings. Law appeared in an Ontario court, pleading guilty to aiding multiple suicides by selling poison worldwide, including 330 packages to the UK. The court revealed that Law had four companies, one offering phone consultations to discuss his products, and even showcased a chilling “testimonial” about their effectiveness.
Danielle’s family remembers her as an intelligent and ambitious woman with a vibrant life that was taken too soon. They shared, “Danielle gave us incredible, fun-filled memories and had so much more to offer to the world.”
An inquest revealed missed opportunities by mental health services before she made the tragic decision to use the product. Law, known to frequent online forums discussing suicide, now faces a significant sentence, potentially exceeding 14 years due to his wide-reaching criminal activities.
