ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The body of a 41-year-old man was found in a wooded area next to a guillotine he built and used to kill himself, police said.

The man, from the Detroit suburb of Melvindale, was discovered Monday by workers from a shopping center near his home.

Allen Park Deputy Police Chief Dale Covert said the roughly six-foot tall guillotine was bolted to a tree and included a swing arm. Covert said police also found several store receipts detailing the materials used to assemble the device.

"I can't even tell you how long it must have taken him to construct," he said. "This man obviously was very determined to end his life."
Understatement of the week.

I can't help laughing at this.

And this should be on Maddox's top methods of suicide that he did a while back.

That was two months ago. I guess it was a belated celebration.

This sort of poops all over the idea that people commit suicide in a temporary state of depression, and that if you get them past that moment, they'll be okay.

This guy should be applauded. He brought a level of imagination, dedication and plain-old can-do spirit to his own demise that's sorely lacking in most of his contemporaries. I hope his example serves as an inspiration to others.

He must have thought it was a capital idea, but he should have waited; after all, vicmorrow is another day.

I'll say this for the man: he wasn't efficient.
