In grisly suicide, UK cabbie decapitates self using rope, taxi

Who among us hasn’t considered the best suicide methods? Would you hang yourself? Shotgun blast? Pills or slit wrists? Apparently, these crowd favorites were too mundane for an unnamed 30-something cab driver in London. From the Daily Mail:

A taxi driver decapitated himself after tying a rope around his neck and a post before driving off at high speed. The incident took place just metres from a 24-hour cafe. The man, believed to be in his thirties, is said to have then driven off at full speed in the early hours of this morning, aiming straight at a pillar.

His head was found yards from his taxi in Great Suffolk Street in Southwark, London.

A cab driver, who preferred to remain anonymous, said: ‘One of the drivers was at the scene just afterwards. He saw the cab all smashed up against the pillar, with the driver’s body still inside the vehicle. He then saw the head lying on the side of the road next to some rope. It is horrific.’

The death happened shortly after midnight at a disused petrol station yards from a 24-hour cafe used by black-cab drivers.

Horrifying as it is, at least the guy didn’t take anyone else with him. When my time comes, I’ll suicide-bomb at a landlord convention.
