Sounds like This Guy was really thinking about a way that nobody has done. I’ll give him an A+. Yes, It for sure makers you wonder. SAD BUT TRUE.. 😔
He went out a Legend in his story 😞🙏
I would have to see picture from video to prove that. I don’t understand how he was decapitated and his truck is there.
One end of rope tied to his head, one to a concrete pillar, as he drove away the rope pulled his head off and the vehicle crashed. I don’t see what you mean you don’t understand how he was decapitated and his truck is there. You think the truck would disappear when he gets decapitated?
Check out the group morgue morticia on FB, they’ve got it!
They’ve got what?
The pic of his head on the ground
I’m actually here from Morgue Morticia 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Are you actually suggesting a conspiracy theory ? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING AND STOP ! GOD, GET REAL. Shame on you.
I saw the pic of the decapitated head .
Who the f takes a picture y’all are demons
Everyone takes pictures. That don’t make them demons. How you think most news place get their pictures? It’s life. There was hundreds of people out there videoing and taking pictures. Guess everyone is a demon in your eyes
The fact u commented this thinking this is OKAY? Imagine somebody is sharing your loved ones dead body. Stop acting a damn fool. I hope every horrible thing comes to you and your life. You demon.
Eat shit 😘 cry harder. Cope and seethe.
He was the demon was under investigation for SA on his granddaughter, y he unalived himself

Worried about getting your tubes tied you old hag. You’re disgusting for wanting to know what a dead mans body looks like. Shame on you. Demon.
Wait, where’d you see the picture?? 🧐🤔👀👀👀👀👀
Where? Us in the group morgue morticia want to see the pic
Don’t know how to post pic on here. My hubs friend works at the place where this happened. He got the pic. As good as he could get.

You’re weird for commenting this. I hope all the demons come for you, your hub, your hubs friends and anybody who looks into finding this poor mans body & head.
If that was the body of somebody you loved, you wouldn’t be acting like this. SHAME ON YALL.
Casting demons against people is no better than looking at decapitated heads. Hypocrite! Btw I love swimming in your tears.
Ignorant people. Please tie your tubes.
I have never heard of this type of suicide, in and out of that plaza often too. Prayers to the guy and his friends and family. As far as this method goes, I take away suicide points for possibly endangering others. Once you floor it and you’re gone you didn’t gaf about where the truck ended up, it could’ve ended up on either 17 92 north bound or Enterprise either way it’s busy AF.
I wonder if the thought was 1st thought of as a hanging, but you need a good roof at least a 2 story and Bravo right then and there wasn’t a good option I suppose.
Wonder if he was a drinker? A couple of shots before pulling that off seems mandatory. Unless people leave a note no one will ever know what could drive someone to take their own life, then I remember a time or two, and pray for them again.
Sadly this was my uncle. I’m so sorry that he chose such a busy place but wish people hadn’t taken pictures. He was suffering from an inoperable brain tumor. He hasn’t been a drinker in years, but I’m sure the daily pain & inevitable future was making him not think so clearly. Prayers for my mother as that was her last & youngest brother.
Are yall planning on putting candles or flowers out there?
He was under investigation of SA on his granddaughter
Beyond heartbreaking. Suicide is at an all time high. Condolences to all his family & friends. Luckily, no one else was hurt. I am curious though, does anyone know if he had just bought the rope at Harbor Freight?
I work in the plaza, he just came out of the Value pawn before he did it
That’s terrible, I’m so sorry for this man and his family
Weird that he came out of the pawn shop and did that. Why pawn or buy anything if that is the goal? Super suspicious and weird.
I work for Stringr, got the call, have video and pics.
You’re weird for commenting this. I hope all the demons come for you and anybody who looks into finding this poor mans body & head.
If that was the body of somebody you loved, you wouldn’t be acting like this. SHAME ON YALL.
I merely commented that it’s been captured on video, Tode.

There is something wrong with YOU lady to be wishing demons and death on people that simply have a morbid curiosity that you don’t possess. Curiosity is human nature. It’s natural. Wishing demons on people is not.
Will you STFU about “demons” already. Every Goddamn comment you’re wishing Demons on someone. Shove it up your ass already with the damn Demons. You’re named after a damn amphibian, no one gives a fk. Eat a dick
If you are on FB, and are willing to join Morgue Moticia, please share there!
The fact that there are DISGUSTING PEOPLE commenting here saying they have the photos/videos of what the man looks like and them approaching the truck when it happened is HORRIBLE.
Let that be your loved one and find out people are casually throwing your dead loved ones body around on the internet for sick freaks to see and laugh about.
To all of the people who have been spreading and posting this mans photos/videos, hell is hot. Thats where you’re all going sick freaks.
Amen, this was a tragedy 😥 but it’s nice to see that other people are enjoying it😡 my heart goes out to the family🥰
It wasn’t a suicide he was doing some work and the truck rolled, and the strap got caught on his neck and decapitate him
I am interested in purchasing the 78-79 ford , seriously
