A 51-year-old man decapitated himself in New York's Bronx borough by chaining his neck to a pole, getting into his car and stomping on the gas, police said on Tuesday.

[MNDude]

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

I mean suppose someone said “I will boil you and your family to death unless you decapitate yourself in a year.” Then, for an entire year he did lots of shoulder presses and arm strengthening exercises (and he already had a very thin neck to begin with), could he pull his own head off?

ha. That’s right up there with, ‘can God make a rock so heavy He can’t lift it?’

“New York driver chains neck to pole, hits gas, decapitates self”

Who hasn’t sometimes felt like that out here on the 405 some afternoons?

[jughandle]

Where did the car end up?

[iceskater]

Muzzies aren’t into quickly beheading anyone. They get off on prolonging the process. Sick bastards.

and splattering.

The Bronx version of Hara-Kiri?

Police said it was unclear whether he had left a suicide note.

Look for a video cam. He may have been filming himself for a Jackass sequel.

Need note from a licensed mechanic to buy a tow chain?

He gets points for creativity.

It hit a parked car down the street then the dudes body fell out onto the street. Had to be nasty.

... only gonna show you this once ...

[B212]

people....this method leaves a mess for some one to cleanup....the street has to be steam-cleaned, and body bags used to carry away the remains....firemen, the police, the ambulance....and others involved, if you decide to go, find a way that doesn’t involve the whole community.....leave me out of it....

[verga]

Well, he didn’t involve the family, friends, co-workers, other members of the community, or the police in it.

Whom do you think had to clean up the mess? Whom will be attending the funeral and burying him?

[bikerman]

That much more air and water the rest of us.

[envisio]

Now thats how you kill yourself right there.
That was no cry for attention. That was no slit your wrists then fall in front of someone, no sir, this man by-gosh ended it.

[RichInOC]

You know, if New York sucks that bad, you don’t have to do that. You can just leave.

[ex-snook]

Rubber necking failure.

“Just curious.. Did that car have headers?”

I wonder how far the car went and what it hit?

He had to strap in since it takes quite a lot of force to rip a head off.
