Dr. Kevorkian Hospitalized in Detroit with Kidney Ailment, Pneumonia
 

Assisted suicide crusader Jack Kevorkian was readmitted to the hospital last night because of a recurring kidney condition and pneumonia, his lawyer said this afternoon.
Mayer Morganroth said Kevorkian was hospitalized several weeks ago with a kidney ailment, but had been released.

“Last night things flared up and we took him in,’ Morganroth said. “So it’s his kidneys and a little bit of pneumonia.”

Morganroth said his client was sounding “a little bit better” in a noontime telephone conversation.

Kevorkian, 82, also has a history of heart problems and hepatitis C.

The subject of an award-winning made for TV movie biography starring Al Pachino, Kevorkian was convicted of second degree murder in 1999 and given a 10-25-year sentence. He was released in 2009.

The real question is whether he's on official suicide watch.

Every time I see Dr. Death in the news my first thought is,

"He's still alive???"

I had the same though, PiKA

I wonder if he'll request assisted suicide.

lol Ditto. I thought it was like a new Kevorkian or something that I didn't hear about.

LMAO me too!
