An American doctor of Armenian descent Jack Kevorkian, better known as Doctor Death, has not arrived in Armenia. As informed sources told PanARMENIAN.Net, 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.

As previously reported, Jack Kevorkian was supposed to arrive in Yerevan today, on March 9.

“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.
