Cutting Off Ones Head To Spite The Landlord – Seriously It Happenned in England
(This post is not for the squeamish)
One thinks we have real estate concerns in this country, but the reaction in this case across the pond is a bit extreme.
An English man who did not want to be evicted from his apartment decided the best course of action would be to make a big bold statement.
He decided to take his engineering skills and remove his own head in protest. While I admire his commitment to the cause and obvious ability to devise a McGyver like apparatus, I think I would have taken the relocation package.
The Black and Decker chainsaw sliced through his neck in an instant but kept going for a further 15 minutes.
Police and paramedics found his blood-soaked body at the flat in Bishopstoke, near Southampton, Hampshire, after his father John raised the alarm.
Mr Phyall was the last resident living in an area marked for a mass redevelopment and all 71 surrounding flats were empty.
The inquest heard Mr Phyall, who had lived in the 1960s flat for eight years, was the last resident in the block and had resisted 11 offers of a new home. via Mail Online.
