Non-suspicious?
Posted: Mon 14 July, 2008 Filed under: Cynicism, News, Thoughts 2 Comments »There’s something about this story that’s just bizarre.
A man – the last resident of a block destined for redevelopment – is found in his house beheaded by a chainsaw. And the police say it’s “non-suspicious”.
Now it’s obvious that I read far too many crime/thriller type novels, but the entire thing just sounds dodgy as shit to me. If nothing else, it’s an impressive way to kill yourself – using a chainsaw to behead yourself.
Still, as I’ve said before, I’ve just got a cynical mind.
Maybe it was a shaving accident. You know – he found his razor was blunt, had no spare blades but did have a chainsaw. What could possibly go wrong?
They do go on to say he had been alone – I guess if you find a corpse with the chainsaw still clutched in his hands and the door locked on the inside then you don’t go hunting for hitmen.
BTW, one of my colleagues has just taken a call from UPS who have mislaid a parcel, coming for him, and containing body parts. Now THAT’S a disturbing conversation…
