    \textit{A. Dimca} and \textit{A. I. Suciu} [J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 11, No. 3, 521--528 (2009; Zbl 1217.57011)] proved that every Kähler group that is the fundamental group of a closed 3-manifold group is finite. In [Ann. Inst. Fourier 62, No. 3, 1081--1090 (2012; Zbl 1275.32018)] the author gave an alternative proof of this based only on the Albanese map and group cohomology. In this article he employs similar methods to prove a more general result that deals with all 3-manifolds, namely that every Kähler group that is the fundamental group of an arbitrary 3-manifold is either finite or the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface. In a closing section, assuming the result for closed manifolds, the author gives a ``more high-tech'' proof for manifolds with non-empty, non-spherical boundary, that uses results from [J. Topol. 5, No. 3, 639--650 (2012; Zbl 1256.20033)] on group deficiency.
