    Couldn't you just use a gun

    Or sleeping pills, or hang yourself or something other then a chainsaw?

    A 58-year-old man in Hampshire, UK, severed his own head using a chainsaw, after losing an eviction fight.

    Police sources have revealed that David Phyall switched on the saw, and put a timer on the socket. He even had a cocktail of pills to knock himself out, and then rested the saw on his neck. When the timer went off, the saw sliced through his neck in an instant. David committed suicide some 10 days ago, and it was his father John who first discovered his body.

    Policemen and paramedics who reached the site said that they found David’s bloodsoaked corpse. What greeted them was a horrific sight. The head was severed and there was a considerable amount of blood. He seemed to have gone into a great amount of detail to end it all, a police source said.

    David had fought for several years to prevent developers bulldozing the block of 72 flats he rented in, and replacing them. He was last to leave after all the other flats were boarded up in Bishopstoke, Southampton, added the report.

    The paper even said that an eviction notice from housing association Atlantic Housing Ltd might have been the last straw. "We had given him 11 other offers of accommodation but he rejected them, basically because he did not want a property owned by us", said a spokesman for Atlantic.

      Jesus...

      Sounds like there was some mental problems present. That guy just sounds like he wasn't hooked up right.

              Wow. That is really weird and disgusting. Kind of sad too that things would be that bad for him.

                      A chainsaw leaves no doubt.

                          Yeah. He did feel nothing and it was certain death but come on, a chainsaw? A knife to the throat would've been less gruesome and still would've gotten the job done. But a chainsaw is just crazy.

                            I feel for the father cause he found him. He really put some thought into killing himself, what a way to go.
                            I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

                              perhaps by doing it the way he did he got the publicity he wanted. if he had just used pills or carbon monoxide, i'm sure it would not have gotten any publicity. but this way his plight was sure to get out there.

                              i'm not sure if that's what he had in mind, but it worked.
