A ‘vulnerable’ man cut off his own head with a chainsaw after being ordered to move out of his home to make way for developers, police believe.

David Phyall’s severed head was found beside the power tool inside his housing association flat shortly after receiving his eviction notice.

Detectives were today investigating the possibility that the 58-year-old killed himself rather than leave his home of eight years.

Truly remarkable story. Guy doesn't want to move, so he says F You, I'll cut off my head! Like that is going to stop them demolishing his house. They probably demolished even quicker than if he still had a head.

In all seriousness, how do you cut off your head with a chainsaw? This is some Houdini shit. I don't even think I could make it through my leg with a chainsaw, and this guy did his head. He must have been both ambidextrous and double jointed. Or Mr. Wizard and created some gadget.

Major props to this guy. He doesn't joke around. Not like some guys who suck at suicide.
