Suicide by Power Saw

(Plymouth, Massachusetts) Nothing neat about killing with a power saw.

Officers went to the home at 7 Farmhurst Road about 10 p.m. Monday after relatives called and asked them to perform a wellness check.

They went to the front door and saw a man, identified as Kenneth Lincoln, 49, inside the living room just as he picked up a power saw and began using it on one of his legs, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz's office said.

Officers forced their way into the home and provided first aid to the man, who was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, the district attorney's office said.

If Lincoln owned a gun, I suspect he would have used it instead of the saw. In the end, though, it really didn't make a difference. Did it?
