- Share via
Dr. Jack Kevorkian and an associate brought the body of a Massachusetts woman to a hospital, at least the 35th person whose death he has been present for. Kevorkian and his associate, Dr. Georges Reding, left the body at Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital, said Dr. Mitchell Garfield, an emergency room physician. Garfield said Kevorkian identified the woman as Judith Curren, 42, of Pembroke, Mass. Details on how she died were not immediately available. It was the 35th recorded death attended by Kevorkian since 1990 and the sixth since his most recent acquittal on assisted suicide charges. The Oakland Press reported Curren was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and immune deficiency syndrome. Curren’s husband reportedly was present when she died.
