“What kind of car was it?”

I read the story...and no, it was not a GM vehicle...how about a white Honda Pilot?

“.how about a white Honda Pilot?”

Maybe he became depressed when he got the estimate for his transmission repairs...

His family should sue Honda. I’d love to hear that argument.

I’ll be waiting...

Sue Grafton described one way to hang oneself in her book, “N is for Noose” . . . this guy comes up to a tree shaped like a Y due to its trunk splitting. So he gets a huge rock and places it in the gap, ties the other end to his neck and then pushes the rock off the other side. Death in about 2 minutes.

Then there was the Indian lass that shoved her neck into a Y crevice of a tree and stayed there forcing her self deeper into the Y until she died.

People are quite ingenious when they are candidates for the Darwin award.

here’s one thing I always wondered...could a person decapitate themselves with their bare hands?

Time has been heavy on your hands, no?

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.

Good point. Trying to imagine, though, how another party could stand on the gas pedal with sufficient force.

Two hats
were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: ‘You stay
here; I’ll go on a head.

Doesn't sound like a redneck Watch This!!! moment.

We had a guy cut his own head off last year. I was wondering how he pulled it off. They called it a suicide, now I guess it's possible.

I’ve read of incidents like this before.
I guess it would have to be better than
using a chain saw, which I have also read about.

At least he was smart enough not to connect the chain to his own bumper.
