A 51-year-old man decapitated himself in New York's Bronx borough by chaining his neck to a pole, getting into his car and stomping on the gas, police said on Tuesday.

Now that windows don’t open, a New York stockbroker has to be creative in offing himself.

I gotta say, that’s a pretty clever suicide method, ASSUMING it was suicide. You’d have to be a bit warped to want to go out that way.

I’d give it a 50/50 chance that this could have been DONE to them.

There were the fire challenge, the ice challenge, and now...

Sort of like tying a string around your tooth and tying the other end to a door knob in a macabre kind of way.

Okay, I have to ask, why has a news article with so little redeeming social value received so much attention and so many postings as it has, on Free Republic?

Nothing unusual - it's called gallows humor.

There can be only one.

LOL! (Yes, I do get it) :-D

>>> You are probably right, but if a person is determined to kill himself he will find the means. This one sure sounds particularly gruesome. I pity the policemen and medics that had to go to the scene.

Yeah. It’s gotta suck to be the owner of the car he hit as well. Yikes.
