Headless body found in car
UOZU, Toyama -- A man's headless body was found here Tuesday afternoon in a car at a parking lot, police said, amazingly adding that his death could have been a suicide.
The man's head was found at the feet of his body, which remained strapped into the driver's seat by a seatbelt.
The engine of the rented car was still running and the vehicle had slammed into a wall of the parking lot.
A rope lying outside the car may lead to revealing the details surrounding the death of the man, who appeared to have been in his 50s. Police said some sort of knife or sharp object had not been used to sever the man's head.
No suicide note has been found. (Mainichi Shimbun, Feb. 11, 2003)
Anyone care to offer a theory on how this happened?
