Dr Death hospitalised again

Assisted suicide advocate Dr Jack Kervorkian is in hospital with pneumonia as well as a recurring kidney ailment.

Kervorkian, known as “Dr Death” for helping more than 100 people end their lives, was re-admitted after being in hospital several weeks ago.

He has a history of heart problems and hepatitis C.

Kervorkian’s attorney, Mayer Morganroth described the reason for this admission as a relapse, but reports while not 100 percent, he is getting better and is expected to return home shortly.

Dr Death spent more than eight years in jail for the videoed murder of a man he assisted to die. He claims to have helped 130 people to terminate their lives early.

As a condition of his 2007 parole is he is not to assist in any suicides.
