WA identity Kizon discharged from hospital

Convicted drug trafficker and Perth businessman John Kizon has left Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital following a car crash almost two weeks ago.

Colourful Perth identity John Kizon has been discharged from hospital almost two weeks after crashing his car outside the building.

Mr Kizon smashed his BMW into a parked vehicle, then ploughed through several bollards and hit a tree outside Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Nedlands on the night of October 9 after reportedly suffering a heart attack.

The 56-year-old was in a critical but stable condition for some time, but was discharged on Monday.

Mr Kizon has had several run-ins with the law, including serving a prison term as a young man for heroin trafficking.

He has long said he is an honest businessman who police harass because of his past.
