[Emirates 24/7] In a horrific incident, a 50-year old man committed sucide by chopping his own head with a chainsaw in an intricate plan involving a timer, snooker table and sticky tape.
C'mon, buddy, there's easier ways. Nobody likes a showoff. Or liked a showoff...
During an inquest it was learnt that he did so because he didn't want to get thrown out of his own home, thetelegraph.com.au reported. Phyall's block of flats was to be demolished. He had refused 11 offers of alternative accommodation.
The daily explained the process: "Phyall tied the Black & Decker tool to a leg of a snooker table in his lounge with string, taped up the on button and plugged it into a timer.

He then lay down under the snooker table face up and placed the chainsaw against his neck, Winchester Coroner's Court heard."
"Disturbingly, the plan went off without a hitch," the paper commented.
Electricity is like that...
