This is in regard to DNR status in the death section: I believe that this article may need some adjustment based on new jersey laws both now and at the time. Regardless of incarceration, there is no evidence that Richard Kuklinski was not in charge of his POA (Power of Attorney) in regards to his health care. While it is possible, it is also highly unlikely that his wife would have been in the situation to appoint a DNR status on Richard Kuklinski. Richard himself stated he clearly wanted to be resuscitated. At the time of his death he was of sound mind, therefore would have retained his POA unless he signed it over. In this case the statement can be what is stated by his wife Barbra Kuklinski. Short of having proof that she did in fact have POA signed over to her it is highly unlikely this did in fact happen like this.

Furthermore if she did not have the POA for Richard Kuklinski this implicates the doctor has broken the Hippocratic Oath. Legally if Richard Kuklinski was in fact his own POA and the doctor did not attempt to resuscitate him at the instruction of his wife, this in fact implicates a crime. While it makes for an interesting end for a movie, it is highly unlikely and does not belong as a factual statement unless it can be supported by a legal document.

The citation for this POA issue of his death is based on webpage written on the day of the release of the film "The Iceman" which without further supporting arguments stands little ground as factual information. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/9959985/Married-to-The-Iceman.html
