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.
There is also a report that a Texas police officer has also taken his own life in repose to the hack:
Meanwhile, another report said a US police officer from Texas had also taken his life, days after his name was linked to the website.
Captain Michael Gorhum, who had served for 25 years with the San Antonio Police Department, killed himself last week.
There are also reports that some people with accounts are being blackmailed.
I think it's time to stop gloating over the hypocrites who have been outed by this hack, and start worrying about those who let their fantasies get the best of them.
