Dr Death set for new life

DR JACK Kevorkian, who waged a defiant campaign for nearly a decade to help people kill themselves, will be released on June 1 next year — the first day he is eligible for parole, officials have announced.

The 78-year-old was convicted in 1998 of second-degree murder in the assisted suicide of a Michigan man.

By the time he was convicted of murder, he proudly claimed to have assisted in at least 130 deaths.
