Death of “Dr. Death”

The Huffington Post reports that Jack Kevorkian, aka Dr. Death, has died at the age of 83 in a Detroit hospital:

Kevorkian, who was trained as medical pathologist but stripped of his medical license, admitted to being present in at least 130 suicides of terminally ill patients between 1990 and 1999. He also developed a suicide machine, which according to WIRED, was essentially an automated drip hooked up to an IV needle that patients could personally trigger.
