ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — A University of Michigan library has acquired the papers of assisted-suicide advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian and is making them publicly available.
The Ann Arbor school says Tuesday that Ava Janus, Kevorkian's niece and sole heir, donated the collection, which spans from 1911 to 2014.
