- godphase3, on 11/19/2008, -34/+1182Tragic. But also, kind of awesome.
- DigSomeMore, on 11/20/2008, -25/+527He really lost his head...
- WordsnCollision, on 11/20/2008, -15/+435Phyall "had resisted 11 offers of a new home." It's not like he was being tossed into the gutter. Search that flat, he was hiding either a treasure or a body.
- roctimo, on 11/20/2008, -3/+356There is no manlier way to kill yourself.
- diggit83, on 11/20/2008, -3/+318Talk about putting your neck on the line....
- mhanley, on 11/20/2008, -3/+273I bet no one saw that coming.
- LordoftheLoo, on 11/20/2008, -8/+266Thats not a way to get ahead in life
- Andy5925, on 11/19/2008, -16/+255jesus that is disturbing.....
- hauntedchippy, on 11/20/2008, -6/+208What a real pain in the neck
- MeatMountain, on 11/20/2008, -17/+204He'll never be the head of a major corporation.
- scooterbaga, on 11/20/2008, -11/+191...It's a shame he couldn't keep his head together...
- chuckDontSurf, on 11/20/2008, -2/+167Wow, that's ***** hardcore. If I killed myself I'd probably be a little bitch about it and overdose on some sleeping pills.
- bashnu, on 11/20/2008, -2/+165descriptive.
- roctimo, on 11/20/2008, -2/+160Yes, absolutely manly....but that was not a suicide attempt!!!
DISQUALIFIED! - Hobbes24, on 11/20/2008, -2/+153Looks like he certainly cut his own head off with a chainsaw!
- jer21, on 11/20/2008, -2/+141It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong.
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+128I can only imagine what went through his head.
- Gnar04, on 11/20/2008, -4/+109Tragawesome
- jun2san, on 11/20/2008, -5/+107I think the word your looking for is Sawesome!
Reference: http://www.qwantz.com/archive/001242.html - manstein01, on 11/20/2008, -10/+110Meh...Daily Mail. They like to fiddle with the facts to make things sound more sensational. Who knows if this is even true.
- pastathellama, on 11/20/2008, -4/+88He should have been more abreast of things
oh wait wrong joke. - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+78A tragic chain of events.
- spazzx625, on 11/20/2008, -6/+84Dailymail.co.uk is the equivalent of monkeys on typewriters...Only less awesome.
- ultraseamus, on 11/20/2008, -2/+78"You don't know if those offers were far away from his family"
I doubt that is it, if this guy had a bunch of family he loved, close by, he would not have chainsawed his head off to make a point.
"The developers did not look at his well-being hard enough."
In a sense, but someone who is capable of planning to saw off his own head to protest having to move, and then going through with it, clearly had a very strong mental unbalance. Without a psychiatrist on hand I am guessing it would have been hard to have any idea how extremely unstable having to move would make him. - flashboy131, on 11/20/2008, -2/+75he really showed them.
- stayputnik, on 11/20/2008, -24/+94i disagree... i read recently of a man in glacier national park a few years back who fought off a grizzly bear to save his teenage daughter. the bear scalped him and tore him up something awful, but the guy actually lived.
balls of fricken titanium. - gullyben, on 11/20/2008, -5/+71This guy's suicide was as hardcore as Elliot Smith's was emo
don't get me wrong...tragic...but hardcore - Navicerts, on 11/20/2008, -4/+63"'A large area of carpet had blood splattered all over it because of the way the Black and Decker chainsaw had been spinning around.' He added: 'We had seen him a week prior to his death and he had appeared cheerful and had been making jokes. His death was totally unexpected.' "
I think this is clearly a murder by black and decker for the publicity. If not, I wonder how long he set the timer for, must have been a long (5 min) or whatever it was. - AmyVernon, on 11/20/2008, -1/+58Exactly. I mean, that wasn't a cry for help; it was a statement. A hardcore freakin' statement.
- oldhick, on 11/20/2008, -1/+57Who doesn't have a right to "a" home? His problem was that he wanted "that" home.
- SteelFrog, on 11/20/2008, -1/+57Dude... I'm sorry to hear that.
- uptwolait, on 11/20/2008, -2/+55Time to outlaw chainsaws. They lead to suicide.
- oo7b0nds, on 11/20/2008, -2/+52a saw
- zomgwaffles, on 11/20/2008, -9/+57How to kill yourself like a man.
http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=ma ... - z0manifest, on 11/20/2008, -16/+62You don't know if those offers were far away from his family or how much he done up the flat. People are not cattle, people have feelings, emotions and strong connections. Breaking such strong connections are mentally taxing, this guy obviously got mentally taxed enough to do this :(
The developers did not look at his well-being hard enough. - prefixmag, on 11/20/2008, -3/+47Gruesome. I guess he did get his point across or at least this is going to get more publicity than most suicides.
- andrewglover87, on 11/20/2008, -6/+49While this is old: http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Man_Cuts_Off_Own_Head_Wi ... it does now have an update with how he managed to saw his own head off.
- CleoQKazoo, on 11/20/2008, -0/+43product placement?
- BruisedGhost, on 11/20/2008, -4/+46he went out like Leon in RE4
- gigatwo, on 11/20/2008, -3/+44I'm not going to lie. That's pretty impressive.
- Lionhart, on 11/20/2008, -3/+44K, give me your house then.
What, you paid for it and worked hard for it?
Doesn't matter, I have a right to one, and I want yours. - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -2/+42http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=ma ...
personally i'd go with the cadbury surprise. - hauntedchippy, on 11/20/2008, -2/+40Always quit while your a head
- UrbanVoyeur, on 11/20/2008, -5/+39His head went bad, so he cut it off.
- LanceUppercut, on 11/20/2008, -0/+34Dad did it, didn't work. He woke up and described it as being on acid. He did manage to dial 911.
Then he did it in the car in the backyard, unfortunately he did that one correctly. So exhaust > sleeping pills. - tmslak, on 11/20/2008, -1/+33'A large area of carpet had blood splattered all over it because of the way the Black and Decker chainsaw had been spinning around.'
Is it bad that I lol'd? - wastelander, on 11/20/2008, -2/+33Maybe awesome, but not smart.. no way he will get his security deposit back now.
- roddack, on 11/20/2008, -1/+30also the fact he resisted 11 offers for a new home. Makes me think he was just an idiot
- wrs123, on 11/20/2008, -6/+35I dont think he had his head in the right place
- jerryjamesstone, on 11/20/2008, -3/+30now that's talent
