The VW camper van used by Dr Jack Kevorkian during his assisted suicide campaign was removed from sale on eBay.

Current owner Jack Finn put the van up for auction on the website last week, and by last night the top bid had reached £2,210 with three days left.

But a short time later the item was no longer listed for sale.

Dr Kevorkian, 81, used the van in several deaths, including the poisoning of an Alzheimer's patient that launched his public effort in 1990.

Dr Kevorkian's lawyer, Mayer Morganroth, said his client turned the 1968 Volkswagen bus in for scrap in 1997.
