A Canadian man accused of running an online operation selling lethal products in more than 40 countries has pleaded guilty to 14 counts of counseling or aiding suicide. A lawyer for Kenneth Law says Canadian prosecutors will withdraw 14 murder charges in exchange for the plea. Police in Canada and internationally have been investigating more than 100 suicides linked to Law. Canadian police say he used a series of websites to market and sell sodium nitrite. The substance is commonly used to cure meats and can be deadly if ingested. Police say Law is suspected of sending at least 1,200 packages to more than 40 countries.

Detainees in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are taking their own lives at a pace that's unprecedented in the agency’s two-decade history, an Associated Press Investigation has found. The investigation revealed that at least 10 ICE detainees have died by suicide since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025. That includes seven deaths since October, already the most in one fiscal year. The increased pace of suicides far exceeds the growth in ICE’s detainee population. The deaths occurred at detention facilities operated by private contractors and local jails run by sheriffs. All were men, and nine of the 10 were Hispanic.

Denver airport workers initially missed a security breach by a man who scaled an 8-foot perimeter fence and crossed a runway where he was hit and killed by a plane with 231 people on board. Authorities said Tuesday that the 41-year-old man entered the airport and crossed a runway as a Frontier Airlines plane attempted to take off. The medical examiner said he died by suicide, but no note was immediately recovered. The collision sparked an engine fire, and the plane was evacuated after the cabin filled with smoke. Twelve passengers suffered minor injuries during the evacuation and five were taken to hospitals.

A note that a former cellmate says he discovered after Jeffrey Epstein’s first suspected jail suicide attempt was liked penned by the same person as a note that authorities found in the millionaire sex offender’s cell after he killed himself three weeks later. That's according to handwriting experts who reviewed the notes at the request of The Associated Press. The three forensic document examiners concluded that the notes have or appear to have common authorship, with characteristics similarities such as the same spacing, letter shapes, usage of capital letters and unique punctuation.

A note attributed to Jeffrey Epstein in his first suspected jail suicide attempt in 2019 has been made public. But that's not because of the U.S. Justice Department’s release of records related to the sex offender. The note was released Wednesday as part of an unrelated case involving a man who shared a cell with Epstein in Manhattan. The government says it never had the note. Nicholas Tartaglione says he discovered the note in a book he was reading after Epstein was found in their cell with a strip of bedsheet around the financier’s neck. Epstein was found dead in his own separate cell a few weeks later.

A federal magistrate judge has pressed a jail official to explain why a man charged with trying to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and attempting to kill President Donald Trump was placed on restrictive suicide watch. Jail officials in Washington, D.C., removed Cole Tomas Allen from “suicide status” over the weekend after his attorneys complained that he had been unnecessarily confined in a padded room on 24-hour lockdown. But the relaxed conditions didn’t satisfy U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui’s concerns that Allen may have received disparate, punitive treatment in violation of his due process rights. Faruqui held a hearing on Monday to address the matter.
