\nThe body of a 41-year-old man was found in a wooded area next to a guillotine he built and used to kill himself, police said.<\/p>\n
[…] Allen Park Deputy Police Chief Dale Covert said the roughly six-foot tall guillotine was bolted to a tree and included a swing arm. Covert said police also found several store receipts detailing the materials used to assemble the device.<\/p>\n
“I can’t even tell you how long it must have taken him to construct,” he said. “This man obviously was very determined to end his life.”<\/p>\n
According to investigators, the man had to make several trips to carry the wooden and metal parts to the area in the woods.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
