Reasons for not allowing “Doctor Death” into Yerevan-bound airplane revealed

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.
