/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The controversial American "Doctor Death" Jack
Kevorkian was not allowed into Berlin-Yerevan airplane as his
name wasn’t included in passenger list, Armavia press service told
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. Jack Kevorkian was not checked in, as he
didn’t have the airplane ticket.
The ticket to Yerevan was probably booked in advance, yet, later,
the booking was not confirmed.
On March 9, Jack Kevorkian was supposed to arrive in Yerevan from
Berlin, where he visited his sister, but missed the plane. He later
decided not to come to Armenia and immediately return to the United
States.
"Doctor Death" Jack Kevorkian is an American pathologist, right-to-die
activist, painter, composer, and instrumentalist. He is most noted
for publicly championing a terminal patient’s right to die via
physician-assisted suicide; he claims to have assisted more than
hundred terminally ill people to that end. In each of the above
mentioned cases, the individuals themselves allegedly took the final
action which resulted in their own deaths. He famously said that
"dying is not a crime." Between 1999 and 2007, Kevorkian served eight
years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. He
was released on parole on June 1, 2006, due to good behavior.
