Synopsis

Jack Kevorkian died in a Detroit area hospital following a short illness on June 3, 2011 at the age of 83.

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us when we live”, said Norman Cousins.

Dr. Kevorkian physically left this world, but his spirit never lost its virtue- not when he lived, not when he died. Free of sufferings, his last breath was a peaceful surrender and the union with the cosmic infinity. The serenity of the way he departed proved the righteousness of his humane ideas, deeds, and the genuine care he had for humanity.

Dr. Kevorkian embraced the truth when alive, and trusted us to cherish it when he died.

Anna Terean and Arthur Armin
