Slovakia. A newly widowed 79-year-old man was found dead in front of the garage of his family home, lying in a supine position between a running circular table saw and a pile of sawn wooden pallets. There was a heavy pool of blood around his head and neck. A workbench and the floor underneath the saw showed a distinct pattern of blood spatter consistent with its having originated from the position of the circular saw blade.
Evaluation of the body revealed multiple gaping, saw-type wounds of the neck and face. The head showed complete amputation of the upper skull associated with extruded portions of the brain on the floor within a radius of approximately 2.5 m (8.2 ft) from the decedent's head.
There were no obvious signs of intervention by a third party, forced entry, or a struggle. The decedent had no history of suicidal declarations, psychiatric problems, or alcohol abuse. According to the relatives, however, several days prior to his death, he exhibited bizarre, non-talkative behavior. No suicidal note was found. He was formerly employed as a locksmith.
Cause of death was determined to be brain evisceration after complete amputation of the upper skull. Following completion of the investigations and autopsy, the death was classified as a suicide. The suicide motive was most likely emotional distress after the recent death of his wife.

I honestly think this is an accidental suicide

No.
Do you see any wood around that he was cutting?
His wife just died.
His recent behavior was 'bizarre.'

Idk, I wasn't there. But I could imagine that he turned it on, wanted to grab wood from behind him, got his foot tangled and fell with his head right on the saw.
But grief makes us desperate. So could indeed very well be that he decided putting his face through a saw was the best way to stop the suffering?

Notice it wasn't just ONE cut.
Check out all the photos.
He had a HUGE cut on his neck.
While it's possible he had an accident, or at his age, maybe fainted and fell on the blade, I think he put his neck down on the blade first - and maybe intentionally then cut his head, or after the neck cut, his body was knocked up and came down on the blade with his head.

Oh shit, you're right. I didn't even notice the one on his neck. This was definitely a (non-accidental)suicide.

Wow. Only a few people have killed themselves this way.
I think I've seen two other posts of suicide by circular saw.
