Former Toronto hotel chef arrested for selling substance used for suicide Toronto
A former chef in a prominent Toronto hotel has been arrested and charged after an investigation intoa legal food additive that is also used as a suicide method in higher doses.
The investigation has been ongoing since March 31, when officers from the 11 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau began looking into a sudden death in which police suspect that sodium nitrite was involved. The white, crystalline substance is sold legally as a food additive commonly used in processed meats, and there is nothing inherently illegal about selling it.
When consumed in such doses, sodium nitrite can reduce oxygen levels and impair breathing, often resulting in death.
