Retired pathologist Jack Kevorkian helped a 58-year-old nurse with a brain tumor commit suicide, his lawyer said in Detroit. It was the 30th such death Kevorkian has assisted since 1990. The suicide Tuesday night of Lona Jones of Chester, Va., was the second Kevorkian has taken part in since his third and most recent acquittal on assisted-suicide charges, on May 14. Kevorkian’s lawyer, Michael Schwartz, would not say exactly when or where the suicide took place.
