David Phyall, a resident of Bishopstoke, Hampshire, England, cut off his own head with a chainsaw in July of 2008. An inquest into his death was held on November 19, 2008. During the inquest, officials reported that they believed Phyall committed suicide to protest the "injustice" of being forced to move out of his apartment building, which had been slated for demolition.Mail Online: Man 'carefully planned' his chainsaw death... (November 19, 2008)
How He Did It
Phyall reportedly tied the chainsaw to the leg of his pool table, taped down the "on" button and plugged the chainsaw into a timer set for 15 minutes. He then laid down beneath the table with the saw's blade against his neck.The Daily Telegraph: Inquest told man cuts off own head... (November 20, 2008)Quote
"In the 15 years I have been sitting as a deputy coroner, this is the most bizarre case I can recall. It is an appalling way to take one's life but that is what happened in this case. He thought through how he was going to commit suicide very carefully. He went to a great deal of trouble. I think he did it to draw attention to the injustice of his situation."—Central Hampshire deputy coroner Simon BurgeSKY News: Man Beheads Himself With Chainsaw (November 19, 2008)-
