Death by Chainsaw

[smstonypoint]

I have read about chainsaw-related fatalities, but I have never read about either of these fatality categories:

Man kills himself with chainsaw after attacking his wife with an ax, police say | Fox News


Pennsylvania man dies day after chainsaw malfunction | Fox News

Is there any way that a chainsaw can explode other than spilling fuel on the muffler?

I suppose the engine could malfunction at WOT and shatter the engine case which might cause a fuel fire. I would expect that to be a "soft" explosion but could catch the operator on fire??

As to killing yourself with a chainsaw, I guess if you are disillusioned enough to kill someone with an axe, killing yourself with a chainsaw might seem plausible?

I agree. But why use an axe to kill your wife?

I agree. But why use an axe to kill your wife?

maybe she needed to be..axed? or the complete satisfaction of sinking a sharp blade into her? not sure what I would use, should the time come..

Are we going to need background checks to purchase chainsaws and axes?

Is a double bitted axe an "assault axe"? Are chainsaw bars over 12 inches long "assault bars"?. Is filing down the rakers on a chain to make if more aggressive a felony conversion? OH, the questions..... But if it "saves just one life"....

What about kitchen knives longer that 6"?
When you go to Bed Bath & Beyond; soon, you will need to bring your "knife permit" to buy.

Without actually knowing the wife.... hard to say weather it was justified lol

They can have my chainsaw when they pry it from my cold dead hand.........btw........I am the guy under the big tree in the front yard.

A few years back, an oral surgeon in Sydney was driving with his wife in the car. He drove into a laneway and parked with her door close to the wall so she couldn't open it. He took out a knife and slit her throat. He then proceeded to slit his own throat.

I once saw a photo of a guy who committed suicide by sawing himself in half on a bandsaw.

It's not good when the wiring in someone's brain goes a bit out of kilter.

The guy used the blunt end of the ax... that's pure anger... beating someone to death... Yikes!

As for the chainsaw exploding... it didn't say if it was while he was cutting with it or not, did it? My initial guess would be he may have been refueling it while it was hot, and it blew up. Just a guess, though.
