    Britain’s National Crime Agency said it has identified 232 people in the U.K. who bought products from the websites in the two years until April, 88 of whom had died.

    “at this early stage there are no confirmed links between the items purchased from the websites and cause of death in any of these cases.”

    I mean, that’s a lot of people to have died by coincidence in under two years!

      I mean, the product is being sold as a way to commit suicide, so it’s hardly surprising that many of the people who bought it are now dead.
