Two Georgia men survived a gruesome suicide attempt Friday after cutting their own arms off with a saw, reported Atlanta's Journal Constitution.
The 40 and 41-year-old men managed to remove three of their four arms, cutting them about six inches about their wrists, Atlanta Police Major Lane Hagin told the Journal.
The men left a suicide note with the manager of their apartment building saying they were killing themselves because they were recently diagnosed with HIV and their business had failed, according to police.
The men are in stable condition at a local hospital and will undergo psychiatric tests, a police spokesman said.

Beat me by 25 seconds.
I feel sorry for the cops and other emergency personnel who had to respond to this gruesome scene. What the hell were these guys thinking?
What was their business? Selling hands? I guess they didn't have enough inventory.
The term 'gay' is such a joke. These two miserable people are anything but.
I didn't think about that.
Reminds me of the six P's
Piss Poor Planning Prevents Positive Performance
Oh man. This is really sad. On so many levels.
You know, that was so bad, but I laughed so hard, I'm ashamed to admit it. Talk about a couple of goobers.
I'm sure it will eventually show up on one the dozen of versions of CSI
It really wouldn't surprise me what with the tongue splitting and the latest rage, where people impale their backs with a hook and hang from it. I forget the term for it.
I think I finally understand. For the longest time I thought they had survived their suicide attempt because they cut their arms off. I was reading this article looking for some plan they'd put in motion to kill themselves, thinking they'd had second thoughts and escaped by cutting their arms off.
Now I see that they really are just stupid idiots who don't know how to do themselves in and have only made their lives that much more miserable.
But what despair these men must have been in.
To me, it seems cruel to prolong the suffering of these individuals.
Not sure myself..................but I's just simplify it by calling insane
Doesn't an HIV diagnosis qualify for 100% disablity payments?
Now they can sue under the ADA.
Let's see, they are going broke, they are gay, they are HIV
Life certainly can get very tough, but doing something as stupid and inane as this ?
So you compound your situation by committing suicide by cutting off your arm?
No, there is something way more bizarre going on here.
They weren't related to that guy who torched his testicles, were they?
