Dr. Death has left the waiting room

Jack Kevorkian, the retired pathologist who captured the world’s attention as he helped dozens of ailing people commit suicide, igniting intense debate and ending up in prison for murder, has died in a Detroit area hospital after a short illness. He was 83.

Kevorkian, who said he helped some 130 people end their lives from 1990 to 1999, died about 2:30 a.m. at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, close friend and prominent attorney Mayer Morganroth said.

He had been hospitalized since last month with pneumonia and kidney problems, Morganroth said.

An official cause of death had not been determined, but Morganroth said it likely will be pulmonary thrombosis.

News of the man’s passing is hardly likely to dampen the debate or the controversy that has surrounded this figure for so long. Some will see him as a man of deep compassion. Others will believe him to be Dr. Death and little more than the world’s most famous psychopathologist.

Either way one thing is certain. He was very good at the mechanics of what he did. And when the time came Jack Kervorkian required no assistance in the ending of the life that was his own.
