Jack Kevorkian was an American pathologist and euthanasia advocate who supported a terminally ill patient’s right to die through physician-assisted suicide. He gained notoriety for assisting in at least 130 patients’ deaths, earning him the nickname “Dr. Death.” Kevorkian was convicted of second-degree murder for his involvement in the voluntary euthanasia of a man with ALS, resulting in an eight-year prison sentence. Following his parole, he was barred from providing counsel or involvement in any euthanasia activities.
