Finally, though this took place in Jersey, we think it deserves special notice. When New Yorkers go the public suicide route, they mostly use tall buildings or subway tracks. Not Union Beach resident Wolfgang Persieck, who died last weekend—and how!
Police were at first baffled after finding a head outside a movie theater, and a headless body inside a car some distance away, according to the Daily News. The car's front seat was littered with suicide notes. So how the hell'd that happen?
Simple and clever enough, it turns out.
Mr. Persieck, whose notes cited personal and financial troubles, tied a length of rope around a lamppost. Then he tied the other end around his neck. Then he got in his car, hit the gas, and did Isadora Duncan one better. Instead of strangling him, yanking him out of the car or just breaking his neck, the noose popped Persieck's head clean off his shoulders like a champagne cork.
No word yet as to what was playing at the theater.
