Two individuals associated with the leak of Ashley Madison customer details are reported to have taken their lives, according to police in Canada.

The police revealed the news at a press conference in Toronto but gave no further information about the deaths.

Ashley Madison's Canadian parent company Avid Life Media is offering a C$500,000 (£240,000) reward for information about the hackers, they added.

Over 33m account details were stolen.

Ashley Madison is a dating website which offers users the opportunity to have an affair.

Addressing the hackers, known as The Impact Team, acting staff superintendent Bryce Evans of the Toronto police said: "I want to make it very clear to you your actions are illegal and we will not be tolerating them. This is your wake-up call."

Suicide huh? Hmmm

[Morgana]

Well that is what the spouse said anyway.

[rovenstinez]

Are we for sure they aren;t ending their lives because of the financial downturn....

Tough to commit suicide with multiple 9mm slugs in your back and a steak knife inserted in the taint.

[sarasota]

LOL!

I was recently on vacation in Toronto. Here's the picture I took of the CN Tower, noted by the red arrow. Don't know why the wife was mad....

Suicide is the fault of the victim. No one else.

Ever.

Hey...they just want to get to the front of the line to the “Basement”...its warmer there

[who knows what evil?]

I’ve been to the CN Tower on several occasions; and that is one of my all-time favorite photos.

The CN Tower is in the picture? Ahem, I didn’t notice.

[sauropod]

This is really sad.

Your sin will find you out.

[Morgana]

Laz is that you?

[rickmichaels]

Interesting. I saw that pic three years ago. Your trip to Toronto must have been as recent as three years ago.

[Morgana]

I really agree with what you said. Do not know what these people were thinking.

Can only tell you that people who do this are missing something in their life and that is God.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Haven’t heard that one in many a year. Naughty, naughty.

[Yo-Yo]

Arrow? What arrow?

[sauropod]

Precisely.

This whole AM mess is not to be celebrated, no matter who (read Democrats) is caught up in it.
