As new details surface in the investigation into Kenneth Law, representatives for the family of a 17-year-old boy who died after ingesting a chemical allegedly sold by the Ontario man are speaking out after his death, calling on online retailers to pull the compound from digital shelves.
Lawyers for the family of 17-year-old Anthony Jones, from Detroit, U.S., told CTV News the teen boy died last year after ingesting sodium nitrite from a website belonging to Law, a resident of Mississauga, Ont.
The Jones' are just one family who've come forward with allegations that substances sold by Law caused the death of their loved ones.
On Tuesday, Peel police charged Law with aiding and abetting the suicides of two Mississauga residents in March, but investigators say they are examing nearly 1,200 packages allegedly sent to 40 countries.
Jones ingested the compound, but is said to have changed his mind. Legal representatives said Jones’ family called 911, but the boy died before emergency crews could determine the cause of the poisoning.
