Full story: The Herald News

Police say the man tied a nylon rope to his neck and also to a pole on Prospect Street. Once inside his car, he may have either stepped on the accelerator or let the car roll down the hill. The car traveled about 30 feet, colliding with a parked vehicle and pushing it onto the curb, before finally coming to a stop. Fall River Police Department spokeswoman Detective Lisa Ahaesy did confirm that the man's head was separated from his body and lay on the ground outside of the car. Police and medical personnel responded to the incident.
