Jack Kevorkian, the man known as Dr Death for helping the terminally
ill to die, is due to be released from prison in the US state of
Michigan.
Kevorkian was convicted in 1999 of the murder by injection of
terminally ill Thomas Youk. A video of him dying was broadcast on
television.
Kevorkian, 79, has served eight years of a 10-25 year sentence.
He has pledged not to counsel people on suicide but says he will
continue to fight for the right to euthanasia.The elderly former
pathologist insists that patients living in pain have the right to die.
Kevorkian won parole after an appeal based on his own failing health.
