Man in domestic dispute decapitates self

Professey Chin

YORKTOWN, Va. — A Chicago man who quickly accelerated a sport utility vehicle with a cable around his neck decapitated himself after a domestic dispute in Yorktown, authorities said Tuesday.

York-Poquoson Sheriff Danny Diggs said a deputy responding to a call of a domestic disturbance Tuesday was taking a statement from the man's ex-wife when another deputy driving by noticed an SUV pulling a utility trailer that was on fire. Authorities say the man started the fire.
A firefighter noticed a cable attached to a tree extended around the man's neck. When deputies tried to get the man to exit the white Ford Explorer, he accelerated and was pulled from the vehicle and decapitated, they said. The SUV kept going for about 150 yards, NBC station WAVY reported.
Diggs said he arrived to a grisly scene, adding the cable was of the type that could be used to hoist an automobile engine.
"Nobody has ever heard of anything like this," Diggs said. "It's a really bizarre incident."
Diggs said the man and his ex-wife had quarreled over the man's living arrangements.
"He was looking to relocate from Chicago to this area, and he wanted her to do more than she was willing to do," Diggs said.
The sheriff said he was unsure how long the couple had been divorced. He said they have two school-age children who were not at home at the time.
Diggs said officials aren't releasing the man's name because they don't publicly identify suicide victims. However, officials said the man was 46 and from Chicago.

Yeah it's not explained very well.

The punchline is, man commits suicide by tying one end of a cable around a tree and the other end around his neck and then driving away.

That's pretty badass. If I ever kill myself, it's gonna be exactly like that.That's pretty badass. If I ever kill myself, it's gonna be exactly like that.

An even more badass way to do it would be to super glue your hands to the sides of your head first, make sure there's enough of a drive to get far enough away from the cable so it's not immediately spotted.

BOOM! You'll appear to have ripped your own head off with your bare hands.

Poor bastard. I suppose he'd just come to the end of his rope.

Can't imagine the pain that guy felt as his head was ripped from his body

I'd say he lost the head after a domestuc

At least he didn't have his kids in the back like that prick in Ireland recently.

Once ahead you should stay ahead.

Pfft, copycat.

Didn't some geezer do this in a Homebase carpark in Wales a few years ago?

In fairness, did you see what happened to Tiger Woods after his domestic dispute?
Poor guy just didn't want to face the media attention!

foxyboxer

Not the time to lose one's head.
That's not the way to get ahead in life.
It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong.
He'll never be the head of a major corporation.

That'll do Mr Powers.

There's a good Hollywood movie in there

I'm noting the lack of the usual sanctimonious back-seating mods re: jokes here. Is it because he was a Yank?

I'm sure it popped off pretty quickly in fairness. How much pain can you then feel while your head is several yards away from your body? Not much i'd imagine.

oh my god, that poor tree

It's because he's not from 'round here.
