There is probably no horror comparable to burying one of your children.

I hope all involved find peace.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

As Stephen Mitchell Sr. began delivering the eulogy at the funeral of his 21-year-old son and namesake last April in Toronto, he acknowledged his family’s deep grief over their sudden loss.

Official records and statements, media reports and interviews with families suggest Law’s products may be linked to 116 deaths worldwide.

David Smith, CEO of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Peel Dufferin branch, previously told CBC News the case highlights the need for support services.

The public prosecutor’s in Nuremberg-Furth, Germany, said they haven’t determined with certainty that two suicides since November 2021 are linked to a toxic salt sent from Canada.

“To my knowledge, in Canada there has never been a prosecution for (counselling or aiding suicide) where the conduct in question is selling an otherwise-legal product on the open market,” he said in an email.
