Man decapitates self in the Bronx, which leads to the question, how can society help people with suicidal thoughts?
Early Monday morning, members of the New York City’s police department were called to the Bronx where they discovered a horrific scene.
Authorities found the headless body of a man by the name of Tomas Rivera. Mr Rivera’s remains were found in Longfellow Avenue near Randall Avenue at around 9:30 AM, according to Examiner.
It had looked like the man died after a car crash, but an investigation into the matter revealed otherwise. The man drove his 2005 Honda CRV to Hunts Point, got out of the car and tied a giant metal chain around a pole.
The 51-year-old man returned to his car and wrapped the other end of the chain around his neck. The Port Jervis man who may have been suffering from some kind of metal illness, pressed gas and killed himself.
The man was decapitated during the incident and his head flew out of the car, and his body was ejected from the vehicle and into the streets.
Rivera’s Honda slammed into another parked car. Several passersby who spotted the headless body assumed that the man died in the car crash.
But the police found couple of surveillance videos that showed that the man took his own life. It appears that Rivera did leave a suicide note behind for his loved ones, but police are not revealing the content.
The man’s family who resides in upstate New York has not yet commented on the tragedy. The Inquisitr makes an interesting point about the method of suicide used in this tragic story and what is going on in the Middle East with ISIS militants who recently beheaded two American journalists·
The story of “Man Decapitates Self In New York Street” has many laughing with outrageous head related jokes, and some are even applauding Rivera for being very creative.
Instead of giggling, people should be talking to their surroundings about this phone number 1-800-273-8255, which is the National Suicide Prevention Line.
So many people are going through depression and other mental issues, and by giving them this number, you might save a life.
