A suicidal New Jersey man set a new standard for self-inflicted brutality when he decapitated himself by driving away from a light post with a rope tied around his neck.

 

Wolfgang Persieck, 50, of Union Beach, died when the rope, which he had attached to the post, jerked his head off as he stepped on the gas Saturday night.

 

His body was found inside the car, along with several suicide notes, behind the Hazlet Multiplex movie theater, Monmouth County Prosecutor John Kaye said.

 

Two teenagers found the car as they walked through an isolated area behind the theater on Route 35.

 

The pair stopped a passing police officer, who discovered Persieck's body. Interviews with relatives and the notes pointed to a suicide, Kaye said.

...he didn't have to take his own life.

I read about that on the Vesti. Pretty epic way to kill yourself.

I feel bad for the kids that found the poor guy.

That'd be freaky. At least the car didn't crash into someone.
