Man Beheads Self in Domestic Dispute
While a deputy took his ex-wife's statement, another noticed a white Ford Explorer driving by, pulling along a utility trailer that was on fire. The car was being driven by the ex-husband, who had a cable — the kind used to "hoist an automobile engine" — tied around his neck. The other end was tied to a nearby tree. This is the part of the post when you might want to send young children elsewhere, perhaps to the comparatively comforting story of the man with gardening shears in his face.
The deputies asked the man to exit the Ford Explorer. Instead, he accelerated. The cable yanked him out of the SUV, and pulled his head off. The SUV kept traveling for about 150 yards, according to the local NBC affiliate.
