      I don't exactly want to look at the links at the moment, but (not being a medical person!) I cannot fathom how on earth someone could do that. Physically, I mean?? Hell, even chopping your own head off with a lucky swing of an axe would be pretty damn difficult, I would have thought, but with a saw? Or was it a chain saw...that would do it, I guess X| Debbie

      No pics, thankfully, and the articles are not particularly graphic. He apparently did not cut his head clean off.

        Not to mention that the store will have a stigma attached to it for quite some time.

            Richards Bay - A man sawed his head off in full view of staff and customers at a grocery store in the northern KwaZulu-Natal province town of Richard's Bay on Monday afternoon, police said. Man cuts off head in shop[^] :omg: Butchery staff traumatised[^] I would freakin' think so. Man cuts off head 'in fear'[^]

                      Couldn't believe it when I saw that on IOL last night! The thing is, just think how brave you would have to be to do that! Seems to me, once you are that courageous, if you only took a couple of minutes to look around, you would probably have the courage to go on living. Very sad.

Well, if, as he suspected, a large gang of men were after him, who knows what horrible things they had in store once they caught him? He may have seen this as the only way out... ...yeah, ok, it's still bizarre - i'd have gone with the sleeping pills three counters over.

                              :confused: Brave and courageous aren't the words I would use to describe that kind of behaviour. I've always thought suicide (unless it is in the act of saving others) was rather weak and gutless. Mike Mullikin :beer:

                                        Don't worry, there are no photographs. Apparently the man went into the butchery section and used the bansaw they use for slicing meat. I don't think his head came off entirely.
