Introducing: Hunting the Suicide Salesman
6/3/202649 min
Following the critically acclaimed series Hunting Warhead, Season 2: Hunting the Suicide Salesman follows host Daemon Fairless as he takes us inside another dark corner of the internet: the online world helping people take their own lives. When people around the world started killing themselves with an obscure substance a few years ago, police were unaware that something – someone – was tying many of these deaths together.
It took grieving families and investigative journalists to piece together what was actually happening and to trace the source of the substance – first, to an online suicide forum and then, to a salesman in Canada: Kenneth Law. Police believe he sent more than 1200 shipments to 41 countries… and may be connected to more than 145 deaths around the world.

We're back with a new investigation into another dark corner of the internet, an online world helping people take their own lives. A few years ago, people around the globe started killing themselves with a substance so obscure almost no one knew about it, and it took years before the police understood there was something, someone tying many of these deaths together. That someone is a Canadian man named Kenneth Law. Police suspect he's connected to more than 100 suicides
