Black Cab Driver Decapitates Himself

by Edgar Allan McAbe

A London cab driver has killed himself in the early hours of this morning by decapitating himself.

The unnamed cabby tied a length of rope around his neck, fastened the other end to a lamp post then got in his black cab and drove at full acceleration until the rope pulled tight and popped his head off like a champagne cork.

The suicide took place shortly after midnight last night, the Daily Mail report that it happened close to a 24 hour cafe and petrol station. Witnesses heard the taxi crash into a lamp post after the driver lost control of the vehicle and were soon at the scene, one taxi driver found the black cab with the body still inside and then spotted the decapitated head at the roadside.

Police and ambulance services were immediately called, the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are not treating the death as suspicious but are carrying out enquiries.
