A man has died after attempting to drill a hole in his head with a power tool.

The 42-year-old was found unconscious in a locked room by police who were called on Sunday to his home in Conway Street, Torquay.

He had a wound to his right temple and a power tool was found next to him.

The man, who has not been named, was taken by ambulance to Torquay hospital in a critical condition and later died, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

The police were called to the scene by the wife of the man.

The coroner has been informed of the incident.

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?

"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.
