There could have been an easier way to do this
Anybody who commits suicide certainly must be deeply desperate. It's always a tragedy when anyone dies, but especially when a person feels so lost that he kills himself. But really, a person has to be some kind of desperate if he chooses to construct a home made guillotine to do the deed:
The body of a 41-year-old man was found in a wooded area next to a guillotine he built and used to kill himself, police said.
The man, from the Detroit suburb of Melvindale, was discovered Monday by workers from a shopping center near his home.
A groundskeeper from the Fairlane Green shopping center at Outer and Fairlane drive discovered the body shortly before 11 a.m. Monday.
Allen Park Deputy Police Chief Dale Covert said the roughly six-foot tall guillotine was bolted to a tree and included a swing arm. Covert said police also found several store receipts detailing the materials used to assemble the device.
