Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a Michigan pathologist who championed physician-assisted suicides, reportedly died early Friday after being hospitalized with kidney problems and pneumonia.
The 83-year-old Kevorkian died at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich., his lawyer, Mayer Morganroth, confirmed to the Detroit Free Press.
Kevorkian died from a pulmonary thrombosis when a blood clot from his leg broke free and lodged in his heart, the newspaper reports.
Kevorkian was released from a Michigan prison in 2007 after serving eight years for second-degree murder. He claims to have assisted in at least 130 suicides.

Surprising he didn’t commit his own suicide or yes.
Why is this on YWN? are you supporters of criminals?
Good riddance.
The coward who claimed others lives allowed himself to die naturally in a hospital.
Each of Kevorkians’ patients decided on their own to use his “services” as they could not take their suffering. While to us suicide is a very wrong step. I am not sure if Kevorkian would be considered a criminal in as severe as sense as was the severity of what he did, when asked.
May he rot in Gehinom
