Art works, paintings and personal belongings of “Doctor Death” Jack Kevorkian will be auctioned off. The auction is set for October 17-18 in New York Institute of Technology on Manhattan, reports Michigan Radio.

This is the first sale of Kevorkian’s belongings. His niece and the only heir will get one part of the proceeds, while the rest will be donated to Kicking Cancer for Kids, a center providing support to families whose children have fallen victim to cancer.

Jack Kevorkian was a staunch supporter of euthanasia and stood for its legalization. He is said to have helped at least 130 terminally ill people end their lives from 1990 to 1998.

Kevorkian was charged in 1990 when law-enforcement agencies obtained a tape of 52-year-old Thomas Youk’s suicide. Kevorkian served 8 years in prison and was released in 2007.

A 90- minute “Kevorkian” documentary about the life and career of Jack Kevorkian, better known as “Dr. Death” was aired on American HBO television network in 2010.

Earlier the film “You don’t know Jack” starring Al Pacino as Jack Kevorkian was shot.

Kevorkian passed away this summer at the age of 83.
