BBC News - Jack Kevorkian: 'Doctor Death' dies in US aged 83: "Mayer Morganroth told the Associated Press news agency Kevorkian died on Friday at Michigan's Beaumont Hospital.
Kevorkian died after a blood clot from his leg broke free and lodged in his heart, the Detroit Free Press reported.
He was believed to have assisted in 130 suicides and was released from prison in 2007, after serving eight years.
The BBC's Steve Kingstone, in Washington, says no one disputes that Jack Kevorkian prompted debate. Today, doctor-assisted suicide is legal in three American states."
