Kevorkian Arrested After Witnessing Assisted Death
Dr. Jack Kevorkian was detained in Detroit after a cancer patient died by carbon monoxide in his presence at a real estate office. The 54-year-old victim, Ron Mansur, died under Kevorkian's observation, marking the 16th such incident witnessed by Kevorkian since 1990. Police released him to his attorney, and prosecutors awaited police guidance on possible charges under the newly enacted felony law. Gov. Engler had signed legislation criminalizing assisting a death by own action, while Kevorkian pledged to await constitutional challenge outcomes before aiding another patient.
