Dr. Jack Kevorkian — nicknamed “Dr. Death” — died on June 3, 2011, after complications from liver cancer and kidney failure. He died naturally, and did not commit suicide or ask a physician to assist him on committing suicide. Dr. Kevorkian was a medical revolutionary who interpreted the Hippocratic oath to mean physicians are to empower patients to make their own decisions, even those to end their own life. He pushed empowerment of patients beyond conventional boundaries, and engaged the medical and medical-ethics community in their profoundest debate in decades. Dr. Kevorkian was best known for providing the means for terminally ill patients to take their own lives in what became known as physician-assisted suicide.
