Don't lose your head!

Like this guy did...

A 31-year-old man sawed his head off in full view of staff and customers at a supermarket in Richards Bay, northern KwaZulu-Natal, on Monday afternoon, police said.

Superintendent Jay Naiker said Emmanuel Gumbi walked into the butchery section of Shoprite branch, switched on an electric meat saw, positioned his neck near the blade and sawed off his head.

He said Gumbi did not leave a suicide note.

Naiker said Gumbi's family said they had been shocked by the incident because he never showed signs of depression. - Sapa
