The police were called to the scene by the wife of the man.
"I'm not very good with power tools", she explained.
the question is, Forstner or Spade?

I don't think he attempted it. He DID it.

The most bizarre form of suicide I have ever seen.
See what happens when a population does not have access to firearms?

Definitely in line for a Darwin Award. Father Darwin usually takes them by surprise.

"Man dies after drilling head "
Noooo kidding!
Was he angry? (heheheheehe)
What about the wife?
Maybe she did it and then called the police. I doubt the man was able to speak with a hole in his head.

Because of fear of litigation I'll bet the next time you buy a drill it will say "Do not use for drilling heads"
I've seen stupider instructions on things that I've purchased.
