Man uses SUV to cut off own head!
 
I can get pretty upset with my wife sometimes, but it is not worth losing your head over.

Chicago man uses SUV, cable for self-decapitation - Houston Chronicle

YORKTOWN, Va. - A Chicago man who quickly accelerated in a sport utility vehicle with a cable around his neck decapitated himself after a domestic dispute in Yorktown, authorities said Tuesday.

York-Poquoson Sheriff Danny Diggs said a deputy responding to a call of a domestic disturbance Tuesday was taking a statement from the man's ex-wife when another deputy driving by noticed an SUV pulling a utility trailer that was on fire. Authorities say the man started the fire.

A firefighter noticed a cable around the man's neck that was attached to a tree. When deputies tried to get the man to exit the SUV, he accelerated and was pulled from the vehicle and decapitated, they say. The SUV kept going for about 150 yards.

Diggs said he arrived to a grisly scene, adding the cable was of the type that could be used to hoist an automobile engine.

"Nobody has ever heard of anything like this," Diggs said. "It's a really bizarre incident."

Diggs said the man and his ex-wife had quarreled over the man's living arrangements.

"He was looking to relocate from Chicago to this area, and he wanted her to do more than she was willing to do," Diggs said.

The sheriff said he was unsure how long the couple had been divorced. He said they have two school-age children who were not at home at the time.

Diggs said officials aren't releasing the man's name because they don't publicly identify suicide victims. However, officials said the man was 46 and from Chicago.

Never thought of that. I gotta say,when it comes to suicide men have it hands down over women. None of this taking 10 Tylenols and calling 911 nonsense. Git 'er done!
Personally, I would use a narrow gauge cable (maybe 1/8") to make sure it cut thru clean, yet had enough strength to not snap.

In all seriousness, this guy either had a mental illness or was so smitten with this girl that he lost his head over her.

If I had to go out, I think a suit made of Primacord would be cool.

nynor 08-30-2011 05:39 PM

primacord suit.... that would be quick. maybe a new death-row alternative.

Poor guy..his thoughts were heading in the wrong direction, way too much tension

legion 08-30-2011 06:25 PM

Well, if I lived in Chicago, I might consider it...

She must have been keeping him on a tight leash when he decided to head out.

nynor 08-30-2011 06:37 PM

Suicide, a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I wonder how much that would hurt compared to like a gunshot to the head.

Isn't a gunshot to the head the quickest and least painful way to commit suicide?

Zeke 08-31-2011 07:07 AM

Well, I don't think you guys should be ripping this guy so hard.
