Well, you wouldn't want the cops to think it was anything out of the ordinary.

In a grim attempt at revenge against his estranged wife, a British businessman committed suicide by decapitation in his Aston Martin sports car, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reported Friday.

According to the Mail, Gerald Mellin, 54, had been consumed with dark thoughts surrounding his 34-year-old wife's decision to leave him.

The day before his death, a court had granted Mirielle Mellin additional alimony, the Mail reported.

Following the decision, in the last contact with his wife, Mellin sent a text message reading, "Congratulations, XXX."

The businessman then reportedly tied one end of a rope he kept in his Aston Martin convertible to a tree and wrapped the other end of it around his neck as he sat in the driver's seat. He then drove the car at a high speed onto a busy road, forcing other drivers to witness his violent suicide, the Mail said.

Phillip Rogers, the coroner assigned to the case, ruled the cause of death as decapitation.

"I'm satisfied this was a deliberate attempt by Mr. Mellin to kill himself."

I am trying to get my head around this.....so you are saying there is an Aston Martin I can pickup dirt cheap?

No kidding, my head is rolling around just thinking about that.

I'm not sure if this belongs in this thread, but I HAD to post it:

None of you guys know how close Little Elm is to Denton, right?

true poetry

I can hear that line in an Alanis Morissette song.

Perhaps he was trying to hit the gerbil that somehow crawled into his asshole.
