Jack Kevorkian, known as 'Dr. Death', dies


The life of Jack Kevorkian -- a onceobscure pathologist who thrust end-of-life debates from lecture halls into courts, legislatures and living rooms -- ended quietly Friday morning, accompanied by the music of Bach.

Kevorkian, 83, hospitalized at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak with pneumonia and kidney ailments, died of a pulmonary embolism, said his lawyer Mayer Morganroth.
