DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Police are investigating after a body was found in the street Wednesday afternoon at Singleton Boulevard and Vilbig Road.

Witnesses tell CBSDFW they saw a man scribble something in Spanish on his van. He then tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other end around a fire hydrant. The man then drove off, decapitating himself.

The van came to a stop without hurting anyone.

It’s not clear exactly what the man wrote on the van.

Adios?

"How am I driving? Call: 555-0101"

Perhaps it said “I’m sorry for sneaking into your country and stealing your benefits & jobs” or some such.

[TheZMan]

That’s fairly inventive, but ... ouch. I guess he didn’t read up on decapitations in France via guillotine, and how you actually live for a few seconds after the job is done.

[Huskrrrr]

Luckily no one else was hurt by the van.

[meadsjn]

It works?

He should've gotten the book "Final Exit" to get an easier way to go.

If there's a Spanish edition.

[Cowboy Bob]

Hold my beer and watch this! (in Spanish)

[Bullish]

Well, he does get a 9.6 for originality that’s for sure.

[MileHi]

Nah...

BS. There wasn't a Spanish-speaker on the street there in Dallas who could translate?

I can only conclude it was something the liberal media didn't want to report.

[Bullish]

I hope he remembered to ‘buckle up for safety’ ya’ know?

[right way right]

Did the scribling say, “sorry about the gross mess”?

[Charles Henrickson]

Hold muh cerveza. . . . Then hold muh cabeza.

I have read about someone doing that in New York City or something about a month ago... here on FR

[GeronL]

I think this was a copycat of a story from a month or so ago

No way, I'd give him a 10.0

Traffic on Singleton during rush hour can be very frustrating, but this...

It's a wonder he wasn't run over preparing to kill himself.

A guy did that in New York City in the summer. Chained himself to a pole then went into his car and drove off decapitating himself. A very similar suicide. But in the Bronx case the guy did not leave a note or any written info.
