Zak Bagans tonight investigates assisted suicide advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian’s “death van” on a new episode of Ghost Adventures: Artifacts. The 1968 Volkswagen Minibus was used by the doctor while he was carrying out assisted suicides to more than 130 patients. Zac bought the van back in 2015 and it is set to feature at his new Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, which is set to open next month. Tonight’s episode of Ghost Adventures: Artifacts sees him investigating the van to see if it still contains the spirits of those Kevorkian claimed to have helped kill. Kevorkian was often known as...read more...

Zak Bagans isn’t your normal TV host. While he spends much of his time on Ghost Adventures, he also spends an equal amount of time collecting really really weird stuff. Adding to his list, Baganz recently purchased Dr. Jack Kevorkian’s former mobile death assistance labratory. What did Zak buy it for? The host says that when hear Les Gold from Detroits “Hardcore Pawn” was selling the 1968 Vw van, he bought it for $32,500. Just in case you didn’t know, Kevorkian used the van during his string of 130 assisted suicides before his own death in 2011. Only one problem with the van. It doesn’t run! Zak also got the original registration a copy of Kevorkian’s driver’s license. Just in case you’re wondering what other weird stuff that Bagans has picked up, back in March he purchased the cauldron serial killer Ed Gein used to secrete dismembered body parts.

Jack Kevorkian is without question one of the most controversial figures in American medical history, oftentimes referred to by the moniker 'Dr. Death.' Kevorkian rose to infamy in the 1990s when he offered assisted-suicide services to deathly ill patients, and it's said that he provided that service for well over 100 people.
What you may not know about Jack Kevorkian is that he was also an artist, with his oil paintings almost always reflecting the macabre qualities of his unique line of work. Now, three years after his death, a handful of those paintings are on display and up for grabs at West Hollywood's Gallerie Sparta, alongside the device he created to usher ailing patients into the afterlife (above).
As reported by the Los Angeles Times, the intravenous drip device is called the Thanatron, and it currently sits on a pedestal in the gallery, flanked by a dozen of Kevorkian's gruesome paintings.

Nashville, Tenn. — The criticism of Dr. Drew Pinsky spread on the Internet almost as quickly as news of Mindy McCready's death.
The country singer with the tumultuous personal life became the fifth cast member of his "Celebrity Rehab" series to die since appearing on the show and the third from Season 3. The previous deaths stirred up rumors of a curse and a debate about the show's helpfulness. McCready's apparent suicide upped the pitch of the reaction, however.
Singer Richard Marx on Twitter compared Pinsky to Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the so-called suicide doctor: "Same results."
Marx backed off later Monday, saying the crack went too far. But he restated his thoughts in a way that summed up much of the reaction in the first 24 hours since the 37-year-old McCready's death Sunday afternoon in Heber Springs, Ark.

Broadcasting legend Mike Wallace has died, CBS News announced on Sunday.
He was 93. Wallace died on Saturday night in a long-term care center in New Canaan, Connecticut. He was surrounded by family.
Wallace had been ill for years. Bob Scheiffer revealed the circumstances of his death on "Face the Nation," after Charles Osgood first announced that he had passed on "CBS News Sunday Morning."
Wallace was one of the original hosts and correspondents of "60 Minutes." He was a trailblazer, known for confronting his subjects and originating the newsmagazine format. His style became standard for television news.
The famously tough newsman came down hard on the likes of Barbra Streisand, Vladimir Putin and Louis Farrakhan during his four-decades long tenure at the show. He joined "60 Minutes" at its inception in 1968, and retired at the age of 88 in 2006. He continued to do occasional interviews until 2008.

This story originally appeared in the April 13 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. To get a sense of the state of the high-end housing market on the Westside, consider the fevered recent sale of an A. Quincy Jones-designed residence in Beverly Hills. The five-bedroom post-and-beam Modernist property hit the market March 7 at $6.499 million. It immediately attracted seven offers and was under contract eight days later at $6.625 million. The deal wrapped up March 20, with architectural property collector and producer Michael Lafetra (Night Train, Kevorkian) acquiring the North Foothill Road residence.

Although most religions forbid it, human societies throughout history have accepted suicide as a reality. Sometimes, as in Japan, it was seen as a matter of personal honor. Usually it was seen as an act of despair, or a manifestation of insanity. It can also be seen as a rational act, and to assist someone in committing it can be seen as an act of mercy.
I have never, even in my darkest hours, considered suicide. But with my troubles I have been fortunate; I've never had unbearable physical pain. In Barry Levinson's movie "You Don't Know Jack," Dr. Jack Kevorkian's best friend says his mother told him: "Imagine the worst toothache you've ever had. Now imagine that's how it feels in every bone of your body."

Author and inventor Ray Kurzweil and actor Kevin Nealon are interview guests. Recently Douthat argued against the late Dr. Jack Kevorkian's assisted suicide work. He wrote in his op-ed for the NYTimes: .the moral case for assisted suicide depends much more on our respect for people.s own desire to die than on our sympathy for their devastating medical conditions...It is not considered merciful to prescribe an overdose to a cancer victim against her will, or to gently smother a sleeping Alzheimer.s patient,. because they didn.t request it.

Celebrity Death! God decided the right time for Dr. Jack Kevorkian to die? [Jun. 3] Dr. Death Jack Kevorkian was a humanitarian who didn't choose assisted suicide for himself? In an Associated Press report, the Washington Post shared very real trivia that Dr. Jack Kevorkian had claimed to have assisted at least 130 people commit suicide. "Those outraged by what he did accused him of being unethical and playing God." However, in the case of Jack Kevorkian and his celebrity death, it seems God decided the right time to take him.

Dr Jack Kevorkian, who had been hospitalized for pneumonia and kidney problems, developed pulmonary thrombosis late Thursday evening and died about 2:30am Friday at a Michigan hospital. He was 83 years old. Kevorkian was known for assisting the terminally ill with suicide and was nicknamed "Dr. Death" for it. After assisting in more than 130 suicides, he ended up serving an eight year prison term on second-degree murder charges. Kevorkian was released from prison in 2007 and was at the center of the controversial topic of whether people are allowed to decide to die and whether doctors should help them. Al Pacino portrayed the controversial doctor in an HBO movie, "You Don't Know Jack," which was nominated for 15 Emmys. It also starred Susan Sarandon, Brenda Vaccaro and John Goodman.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian died today at the age of 83, putting to rest a thoroughly interesting career of assisted-suicide debate-sparking, legitimate moral crusading, massive (largely welcomed) controversy, and and an endless heap of mid-90s “hey we just discovered email so here’s an email joke” jokes (you’ve got to shoulder that burden alone now, Lorena Bobbitt). I happened to be a huge fan of Dr. Kevorkian’s, and not for some joke reason that I was about to set up or anything, but because he always seemed purposeful, articulate, astoundingly well-informed, and completely self-aware even in his most ridiculous moments. My opinion of him was surely confirmed/enhanced by the excellent HBO movie You Don’t Know Jack — thanks in large part to Al Pacino’s amazing, non-phoned-in performance he now gives once per decade — and at the risk of lamely editorializing in a post several inches above another...

Dr. Jack Kevorkian died without assistance at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan early this morning at the age of 83. Dr. Jack's lawyer told the DetroitFreePress that a blood clot in his leg caused a pulmonary thrombosis in his heart. He was never put on life support. Dr. Kevorkian's lawyer added that his death was peaceful. There are no plans for a memorial. Dr. Jack Kevorkian became a controversial figure in the 1990s when he admitted to assisting the suicide of a terminally ill patient. After 60 Minutes showed a video of him administering a dying man afflicted with Lou Gehrig.s disease a fatal injection, he was charged with second-degree murder in 1999 and spent...

The doctor of death was documented in an award-winning 2010 HBO film, "You Don't Know Jack," starring Al Pacino. The film portrayed Kevorkian as a passionate, humble and stubborn doctor who deeply believed in his cause, and yielded an Emmy, SAG Award and Golden Globe for Pacino.

Al Pacino was the Golden Globe winner for Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his role in You Don't Know Jack, in which he plays Dr. Jack Kevorkian. (Barry Levinson directed the HBO drama, which also features Brenda Vaccaro and John Goodman.) Kevorkian was sent to prison in the late '90s because he helped terminally ill patients end their own lives. "Jack, in a strange way, represents a kind of hope and that gives [patients] enough control over their lives," Pacino told the Los Angeles Times. "'I can do it. I don't have to go through this. I can go out with dignity.'" When asked about his own views on assisted suicide, Pacino replied that he was "going to stay away from that controversy. It's not my policy to speak about that. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be unbelievably dull.

Pacino's was a rambling speech that — unless I missed something — failed to explain Kevorkian's appeal to an actor. Also, inexplicably the orchestra failed to cut him off.

Chicago – It all seems perfectly simple to Dr. Jack Kevorkian. When a person is suffering, and recovery isn’t an option, what’s the point of elongating the agony? Should medical professionals force that person to live in pain or grant his (or her) wish to die in peace? The answer is a no-brainer for Kevorkian, whose perspective is unclouded by the complications of “religious dogma.”
Barry Levinson’s terrific HBO biopic, “You Don’t Know Jack,” paints an endearing and humane portrait of a controversial figure many deemed to be a killer. Though Dr. Kevorkian is depicted as a flawed and difficult individual, the film’s perspective on his work is clearly one-sided. The doctor’s no-nonsense approach to serving his patients resulted in his invention of the “Mercitron,” a machine that offers a painless method for suicide.

The range of people we spoke with on the red carpet was like some kind of weird Fellini-esque dream. Among many others, we spoke to a clown, a telephone operator, a drug dealer, and a doctor of death. That's Eric Stonestreet, Lily Tomlin, Aaron Paul, and Jack Kevorkian (seriously, the Real Kevorkian) in case you couldn’t solve our TV riddle.

HollywoodNews.com: George Clooney proved again how utterly charming he is, Al Pacino quoted Michelangelo, and Kyra Sedgwick talked the fifth time being the charm backstage at the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
Maybe it was that First Amendment question that got things rolling. George Clooney, honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award for his fund-raising work including this year’s multi-network telethon for Haiti earthquake relief, was asked about the conflict between wanting to maintain some kind of privacy in his life and his belief in the First Amendment.
He said firmly that, as the son of a newsman, “I always felt that the inconveniences I have are worth it rather than infringing on anyone else’s rights.”
Alrighty then, open season!
Clooney quickly deflected a question about his date – girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis — noting that “She picked me up in Italy” and yes,...

HBO's excellent summer documentary series continues tonight, as Dr. Jack Kevorkian tells us in his own words why he pressed the point for the right for adults to determine when they can end their lives, to his own imprisonment. Watching his own mother slowly die in agony of bone cancer was the impetus for the genius Armenian-American prince, who was the sole son and star child in his hard-working family. A brief history of the Armenian Holocaust is revealed as Dr. Kevorkian, whose own parents survived and were able to get to America. He is masterfully adept at speaking on a variety of subjects and shares the lesser taught atrocities that the Armenians suffered at the hands...

See the trailer as well as images hosted on MovieJungle.com for "Kevorkian" which makes its debut on Monday, June 28th from 9:00-10:30 p.m. Et/Pt exclusively on HBO. Matthew Galkin directs the documentary. The helmer directed and produced two previous documentaries: 1. HBO’s “I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA" which was about the animal rights organization and its enigmatic founder. This was named Best Documentary at the 2007 Hamptons International Film Festival. 2. “loudQUIETloud: A Film About The Pixies” which focused on the cult alternative-rock band and their 2004 reunion tour. Dr. Jack Kevorkian, whose participation in at least 130 assisted suicides earned him the nickname “Dr. Death,” courted controversy in the 1990s by arguing for death with dignity, and ended up being sentenced to a ten- to 25-year prison term for the 1998 death of Thomas Youk. Despite serving eight and a half years in prison,...

Ozzy Osbourne has instructed his wife Sharon Osbourne to "pull the plug" on him if he ever falls into a coma - because he wouldn't want to live in a vegetative state. The former Black Sabbath rocker has called his survival into his 60s a "medical miracle" after years of hard partying and a near-fatal quad bike accident in 2003.
But the 61 year old admits he would want his partner to turn off his life support system if he ever suffered extreme brain damage and could no longer care for himself. In his health column for Britain's Sunday Times magazine, he writes, "I've always told Sharon, 'If I become one of my vegetables (sic), you have my permission to pull the plug.' People say that's going against God, but being a doctor is going against God, isn't it? If you've got a headache, it ain't God who reaches down and gives you the aspirin.

Do not ask for whom Kevorkian tolls, Kevorkian tolls for Stranger Than Fiction. Last night, the spring season of the IFC series came to a close with Kevorkian, Matthew Galkin’s profile of the controversial right-to-die-activist’s recent run for Congress. During the nineties, Kevorkian assisted in the suicides of over one hundred people, becoming the center of a media fire storm, a storm he stoked by sending a tape of himself injecting a terminally-ill man with an overdose of drugs to 60 Minutes and then daring prosecutors to come after him. They took him up on his offer. Determined to provoke debate on euthanasia, Kevorkian fired his longtime lawyer and insisted on representing himself during his murder trial. He stoked debate, but...

A long time coming, the definitive bio-pic of Jack Kevorkian, the controversial physician who made headlines in the late ’90s by performing physician-assisted suicides, is here. You Don’t Know Jack covers the main events from Kevorkian’s tenure as “Dr. Death”: His first assisted suicide, his meeting Geoffrey Fieger, the subsequent trials culminating in Kevorkian’s trial for the death of Als patient Thomas Youk (in which the doctor, with great difficulty, represented himself), and ends with his incarceration.
These scenes and others are obligatory, but the film is less concerned with presenting an argument for assisted suicide or depicting history as it is with understanding Kevorkian the man.
As the doctor, Al Pacino holds the film together with one of his more subtle performances in recent memory. Likewise, it’s been a while since Pacino so immersed himself in a role that you forget you’re watching the actor.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian's headline-grabbing crusade against medical law and procedures was bound to become a movie sooner or later. It's got all the elements that make for great viewing, whether it's on the larger-than-life screen of your local cineplex or the soft, warm glow of your living room television.
Director Barry Levinson took "Door No. 2" for his retelling of Dr. Kevorkian's campaign for euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide called 'You Don't Know Jack,' which premiered last Saturday on HBO. And when Emmy rears its massive head scanning the crowd for suitable nominations for the best actor in a mini-series, you can bet it will point its bony, golden finger Al Pacino's way.
His portrayal of the good doctor fighting the good fight isn't what anyone might expect from the explosive talent that made phrases such as "Hoo-hah" and "I'm just getting warmed up" staples of the movie fanboys' catchphrase-spouting lexicon.

Dr. Kevorkian's media image and the memories those of us have from past newscasts and interviews is served well by a restrained and respectful biography that is but a slice of his later life, those years he battled for Doctor-assisted suicide and wound up incarcerated for his efforts.HBO's "You Don't Know Jack" is thoughtful, pensive and touches that place in us all who wonder what's to become of our aged parents, our children or ourselves if calamity strikes, and our quality of life ends and we simply exist, perhaps in great agony. Unpleasant, heartbreaking and like the subject of abortion, a deeply personal one that polarizes.Michigan's Dr. Jack Kevorkian, whose nickname "Dr. Death" was well-served by Al Pacino,...

Chicago – The great Al Pacino has struggled over the last few years, appearing in total junk like “88 Minutes” and “Righteous Kill,” but one is immediately reminded of his incredible skill mere minutes into the HBO telefilm “You Don’t Know Jack,” debuting April 24th, 2010. Overall, the dramatization of the controversy surrounding Jack Kevorkian and his beliefs about assisted suicide from Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson works because of its great cast but doesn’t quite connect like the best HBO productions of recent years.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
In the opening scenes of “You Don’t Know Jack,” Dr. Jack Kevorkian (Pacino) is playing poker with his buddies and arguing the merits of assisted suicide while a friend notes that most people who know him call him a nut. The focus of the film is clear. Don’t expect much background on Kevorkian or how he got to the point where he would...

HBO has a brilliant film coming up featuring the later years of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the American doctor who counseled critically ill patients and facilitated a self-administering "suicide machine" that enabled the terminally ill to decide when and how to end their lives. Directed by Barry Levinson (Diner) and written by Adam Mazer, the film stars Al Pacino as Kevorkian, and "Treme" star John Goodman (somebody at HBO loves him). The film debuts on HBO this Saturday, has renewed interest in terminally ill patients' right to decide how they end their lives. The ex-pathologist, paroled from a Michigan prison in 2007 after serving eight years of a 10- to 25-year sentence for second-degree murder in the 1998...

Al Pacino was thirty-two years of age when he performed in the role of Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's classic "The Godfather." Now at seventy, he plays-nay, he is-Jack Kevorkian, a retired doctor dedicated to performing what he calls a medical service, which is ending the pain and suffering of serious ill people who request his attentions. Michael Corleone got his way by techniques such as putting a bullet into a rival's brain. Yet one gets the impression from the hysteria surrounding the Kevorkian case that the American people were more upset about what Dr. Kevorkian was engaged in than what Corleone had done--had that fictitious person been real.

Twenty years after becoming one of America's most polarizing figures, Jack Kevorkian returns to the media limelight Saturday in an HBO film about his crusade to help the terminally ill die.
But as the title suggests, "You Don't Know Jack" aims to give Americans a very different portrait of the man once vilified in newspapers and television broadcasts as Dr. Death.
Al Pacino plays the former pathologist who helped 130 patients end their lives over a 10-year period before being sent to prison in 1999 for second-degree murder.
"Jack Kevorkian is a person you think you know. But at the end of the story, you find yourself saying 'He's different than I would have thought he would be,' " Pacino said recently.
But the Oscar-winning actor didn't meet Kevorkian, now 81 and out of prison, before filming began.
"There are characters you do meet with, and it works, and there are some you don't.

Everett Collection Al Pacino and Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
Al Pacino grew up in the South Bronx and has lived most of his adult life in New York City. So why was he throwing around flat vowels like an extra from “Fargo” in his “60 Minutes” interview with Katie Couric last night? Listen to him discuss how he finds acting inspiration at the 4:00 mark of the interview. He sounds like someone at a koffee klatch in Duluth.
Could Pacino’s accent be a holdover from his role as Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who was born in Pontiac, Mich.? Although, oddly, we’ve heard Kevorkian speak in person and his accent isn’t strong. A clip a little later in the segment showing the actor as Kevorkian suggests so. Watch the video and judge for yourself.

The pathologist who inspired Al Pacino's new TV movie You Don't Know Jack struggled to fight back tears as he watched the euthanasia film - because the Hollywood veteran's portrayal of the doctor is so realistic.
Pacino plays Dr. Jack Kevorkian in the HBO network project, about the 82-year-old medic who assisted in the suicides of more than 130 people, and the euthanasia activist admits he is delighted with the film.
Kevorkian tells the New York Daily News, "Al is a terrific guy. The film is superb. There were times when tears came into my eyes - even after all the experience I have."
The medic was dubbed Dr. Death in the early 1990s when he performed his first assisted suicide as part of his 'Mercy Machine'.
Barry Levinson's You Don't Know Jack also stars Susan Sarandon, John Goodman and Danny Huston and airs in the U.S. on 24 April.

HBO is churning out movies that I want to see, including Barry Levinson's You Don't Know Jack: The Life and Deaths of Jack Kevorkian. Otherwise known as Dr. Death, Kevorkian went to jail on a murder charge for assisted suicide; he was released in 2007. In his EW review, Ken Tucker writes that the film is a "pro-euthanasia argument told as a lovable-old-coot story." Update: IndieWIRE has an Anderson Cooper/Kevorkian Q & A. HBO debuts You Don't Know Jack on April 24; here's the trailer:...

Chances are, you’ve come face-to-face with a giant poster of Al Pacino’s weathered and bespectacled face in recent weeks. The image is part of the ad campaign for “You Don’t Know Jack,” a biopic of Dr. Jack Kevorkian airing on HBO April 24.
Pacino plays the pathologist-turned-assisted suicide proponent, who served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence for administering a lethal injection to Thomas Youk in 1998 and then sending a video tape of the proceeding to “60 Minutes.” Convicted of second-degree murder, Kevorkian was released on parole in 2007.
