Man cuts off own head to avoid eminent domain
To quote th article, a “vulnerable” man who refused to leave his flat in the United Kingdom cut off his own head with a chain saw rather than leave his home.
David Phyall’s, 58 years old, severed head was found beside the power tool inside his housing association flat shortly after receiving his eviction notice.
Below are the quoted reactions by the city council:
Lib Dem Bishopstoke Parish Council chairman Anne Winstanley said: ‘The last I heard they were still negotiating with him to try to provide what he required to move into as an alternative. It sounds very tragic for whatever the reason he met his death.’
While other councilmen were just eager to prove the reasoning for the use of eminent domain:
Councillor Winstanley added that Bodmin Road had become a target for vandalism and nuisance behaviour in recent months.
