What is this? An attempt to normalize decapitations by saying they happen everywhere?

I don’t see why this should even matter.

“Whaddya mean, dig a bigger hole?”....
The hole? Sometimes it’s getting the lid closed that breaks a sweat.

an important public display in the ritual that could have worked to enhance cooperation within a community.
Right, do what we say or we rip your head off.
It still works today, especially in Mexico.

pulling and rotatingSo they unscrewed the head from the body. Which way did they turn it. Lefty loosey or are humans plumbed like gas lines?

The final removal of the head, he said, was not the result of cutting but instead of pulling and rotating until detachment was achieved. Some reeeeealy bad chiropractic adjustment there!

the grieving widow complained to the funeral director that the deceased in the other room was wearing her husbands suit and that he never owned a suit like the one she was viewing...
He told her he was sorry and would tend to it.
Two minutes later he told her ALL IS WELL
She thanked him
Later one of the employees asked how was he able to switch two suits so quickly.. The funeral director said, no big deal.... I JUST SWITCHED HEADS..

The French did not stop using the Guillotine until 1977
But if this man was killed by pulling his head off I would say that is about as brutal a method of execution as I have heard of.
And I must say it would enhance cooperation within a community as the article proposes.

The story is poorly written — about as clear as mud. It appears that the man died of natural causes (not crime or war) and as part of the mortuary process, his head (the skeleton) was unscrewed.
Unless someone has a better explanation.
