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.
The body of the offender, 24, was found headless when police raced to the apartment after an emergency call, apparently from the dying father, had been broken off in mid-sentence.
Alf Willwacher, a senior prosecutor, said an electric chainsaw was next to the son's body.
"We do not believe any third party was involved,'' he said.
Neighbours said the father and son had been reclusive since the death of the mother, allegedly by suicide, several years ago.

I wonder if he said the usual “hold my beer and watch this”?
I assume he didn’t finish his beer.

“Fox has a story of a man who cut off his mother’s head with a chainsaw and died trying to do the same to himself.”
You mean he was unable to complete the task?

True. I know they have alot of nuclear in France, I think they do in Deutschland also.
I can just picture the psycho: “Und jetzt, schneide ich meinen Kopf ab.”

Bad headline. Saws by definition do not chop.

"I don’t want to burn to death in a gasoline tanker explosion and I also don’t want to chop my own head off with a chainsaw. I hate it when that happens.
"How do you even do that? Gotta hurt like heck."
Not for long . . .

I didn’t go into the details but apparently, no, he didn’t quite finish the job before the quitting whistle blew.

Hah! I thought it was funny the way you stated it. The guy tried to cut off his head with a chainsaw, but failed, so he died anyway.

How does one chop ones own head off? I mean really? Once the spine is severed.... Blood loss, I mean really? Is that even possible?

"We do not believe any third party was involved,'' he said. Those dectectives are sharp: no one saw it happen, they can't link anyone else to the deaths, so Sonny did it himself.
Their chain of reasoning is electrifying, proving they can chop logic with the best.
