A Clever Way To Call It A Day

Ikchhugani, over at NowPublic, has a piece with this headline; “Man cuts off own head with chainsaw.”
Woah-wait a minute-Man cuts off own head with chainsaw!!??

How do you do that?

Police sources have revealed that David Phyall switched on the saw, and put a timer on the socket. He even had a cocktail of pills to knock himself out, and then rested the saw on his neck. When the timer went off, the saw sliced through his neck in an instant. David committed suicide some 10 days ago, and it was his father John who first discovered his body.

Not content with the traditional methods, the guy came up with a Rube Goldberg, chainsaw, suicide contraption. Hats off to you for ingenuity, David Phyall.

It wasn’t the first time. Looking back to 2007 — Man chops off head with chainsaw; May 9, 2007 - 7:49AM

A man cut off his own head with a chainsaw after stabbing his 70-year-old father to death in their apartment in the German city of Cologne, police said.

…Neighbours said the father and son had been reclusive since the death of the mother, allegedly by suicide, several years ago.
