A taxi driver decapitated himself in his cab in what appears to have been a gruesome suicide.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, tied a rope to a lamppost and the other end around his neck before driving off in Southwark, southeast London, on Friday.

His body was found by police slumped in the car — with his severed head yards away.

Police are treating the driver's death as suicide and are trying to trace his next of kin.

Officers were called at 12.40 a.m. Friday to the horrific scene in Great Suffolk Street, where the car had crashed into a pillar.

"Officers attended and the driver was found dead inside the vehicle," a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said.

"The death is being treated as non-suspicious."

Officers are keen to determine if the dead man was a genuine black-cab driver.

This reminds me of an episode of C.S.I. where they found a bounty hunter with a gunshot wound in his head. They couldn't find the gun. Somewhere else in town, a little boy found a gun in his backyard. They eventually figured out that the bounty hunter tied a gun to a bunch of balloons and then shot himself. When his body went limp and released the gun, it went up into the sky... only to come back down into that boy's back yard.

I think I remember reading an article about a guy who killed himself with a gun years ago. What made it unusual was the way he did it. He set it up so that when he shot himself, the gun would disappear by being pulled out of the window by a retractable rope that was tied to the gun.
 
Weird that he had to make suicide so complicated instead of simple and clean. Uh ok...
 
Far out, that's very disturbing! :-o
 
the stress of the job must have gone to his head


oh imma gonna burn in Hell for that one
 
Wow!

Still have to wonder about that one.



Could it be suicide!?? Perhaps a work of an crazy murderer!??

:hmm:

I'm somewhat finding it hard to believe.
 
He probably wanted it to look like a homicide, perhaps so his family can collect the life insurance.


Perhaps it was the work of The Mob!! :shock:

To make it look like some sort of crazy suicide.

It may or it may not be suicide. Just seems crazy!!
 
Another movie...."The Headless Cab Driver"......I find it really bizarre! Might just start a chain reaction for cheating husbands! Tie a rope around their thingy and a lamp post and floor the pedal!
Seriously tho', this guy was bound to have mental problems! Maybe hearing "voices"......

Do not give women any Ideas! I am sure that would be more of a creative way, than the Bobbitt incident! :shock:
