In Local, National

Non-operational death of Canadian military member while posted to the Canadian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.

A member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) was found deceased in his quarters at the Canadian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan on February 25, 2021. The cause of death is currently under investigation, and is being assessed as non-operational. Next of kin have been notified.

Originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Master Warrant Officer (MWO) Guy Adam Law was the Facility Operations and Maintenance Officer for the Canadian Embassy.

The remains of MWO Law will be returning to Canada on Sunday, 7 March at CFB Trenton and will be transported to the Chief Coroner in Toronto shortly after arrival.

At the families request, the time of the repatriation is not being given.

Our thoughts are with the family, friends and loved ones of Master Warrant Officer Law, and our focus remains on providing them support during this difficult time.

The Canadian Armed Forces is a family and it is heartbreaking when we lose one of our own. We stand together, we grieve together, and we will always remember them.
