Shocking Public Suicide In West Dallas

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.

Prearranged blinking by a doctor that he would blink at his friend 15 times.

My informed guess is that he ran afoul of the Mexican Mafia, a.k.a. Mexican culture. It is a set of ruthless societal rules that are unforgiving and outside the law. It comes with its own version of “honor killing,” forcing you to kill your spouse and sometimes children if they disrespect you to some degree, such as taking actions to divorce. Also, “acting too white” can make you a pariah in this culture, hence the reluctance to learn English and assimilate into American culture in general.

I exaggerate not at all about this.

Self inflicted death was likely the easy way out for this guy.

Maybe a Muslim who missed the “behead only infidels” class?

How did they know about the few seconds? Did any of the victims tell the story? But it does sound plausible considering that it takes a few seconds before all the blood drains from the head and the victim loses consciousness.

I recall watching my grandmother chop of a chicken’s head on a tree stump in her back yard. She would then just fling the chicken into the yard and it would run around for a minute or two....headless.

how you actually live for a few seconds after the job is done.

How bad could it be? You know that when you smack your thumb, it takes a few seconds to really start to hurt? When you have MAJOR trauma, it can take minutes or even hours. More so, 90% of your nerve endings just went offline...

The top line on the van reads, "Don't cut..."
The bottom line is illegible....

Lavoisier, a French Scientist was on the block and blinked 17 times to a colleague who caught his head and held it in his last experiment.

No, ban fire hydrants.

In the best liberal (banners) tradition, you have to do as much harm to as many as possible to allegedly benefit the already expired few.

It is not the funniest way to go in a night.
Imagine a guy who took a rope and a shorter wire, wrapped a wire around his neck and attached a rope to his legs, tied another ends of the rope and wire to a heating radiator, glued his hand to a hair and jumped out of the window from 16th floor.
He ended up about 8 feet from the ground holding a head in his hand.
It was really creative. Cops, coroner and passerbies were laughing their butts of.

not clear exactly what the man wrote

Was his penmanship that bad? Or was it in some unknown language? Is it unclear or was it not released to the press?

You have successfully distracted my attention from this story with the pic of Liz. Man, she is one nice looking woman.

It looks like NO CONTE, across the top and then below it and smaller, CODBO, apparently referring to Call of Duty: Black Ops.

If you type “no conte” into Google translate for Spanish, it asks if you meant “no conté”. If you click that, it gives you the very plausible english meaning, “I did not tell”. ( and says it’s Catalan ) This makes CODBO his moniker, and suggests this was coerced suicide under threat of even greater disaster.

Couldn’t say! But that’s what I get.
