Poison - Coming soon

The Story

Warning, this series contains discussions about suicide. 

A new three-part investigation begins on Stories of our times this Wednesday, 26 April.

James Beal, Social Affairs Editor at The Times looks into the suicide of a 22-year-old British student and soon links it to a man in Canada selling a lethal substance.

How many more deaths could the man be connected to? What is being done to regulate this? And can he be stopped?  

If you or someone you know has been affected by suicide or needs to talk to someone, please get in contact with the Samaritans online https://www.samaritans.org/ or call them for free on their 24-hour helpline 116 123.
