One of the most interesting and controversial Doctors ever died around 2:30 this morning after suffering a pulmonary thrombosis when a blood clot from his leg broke free and lodged in his heart.
Most famous for his work with assisted suicide (and the Suicide Machine he fashioned) he was dubbed Dr. Death by the media. He went to trial numerous times for second degree murder charges in conjunction with the mercy killings always succeeding in winning the case. His luck ran out in 1999 and he was finally convicted of murder. Kevorkian served 8 years behind bars.
Hated by as many people as we was probably loved by, Kevorkian was a lightning rod for conflicted opinions. In my opinion, he was a hero.
The single worst moment of my life: was the moment I was born. - Jack Kevorkian
RIP Doctor Death.
