- <p> SUSPENDED. Jack Kevorkian, 63, the retired Michigan
- pathologist dubbed Dr. Death because he has helped three women
- commit suicide; from practicing medicine; by the State Board of
- Medicine; in Lansing, Mich. Kevorkian first came to the
- attention of the authorities last year when he helped an
- Alzheimer's patient kill herself by hooking her up to a suicide
- machine he had invented. After he was charged with murder, the
- case was dismissed because Michigan has no law against assisted
- suicide. But Kevorkian was barred from helping people commit
- suicide in Oakland County. In October he called police to an
- Oakland County cabin in a recreation area north of Detroit where
- he had helped two women die. The county prosecutor's office is
- investigating their deaths.
