LA HABRA, Calif. — An Orange County man cut off his mother's head with a circular saw and then died after trying to decapitate himself, authorities said.
Police answered a 911 report of a family dispute at a Pinehurst Avenue home just after 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, entered a locked bedroom and found the body of 60-year-old Guadalupe Ruiz on a bed, police spokeswoman Cindy Knapp said.
Arthur Ruiz Jr., 32, was on another bed with the saw nearby. He had died of neck injuries, police said.
It was unclear why Ruiz attacked his mother, police said.
A child and three other adults were in the three-bedroom home when police arrived. Several families rented rooms in the home, Knapp said.

That’s ... uh ... not the method I would choose.
What should you do before start cutting with a circular saw?
* Wear safety glasses or a face shield.
* Wear an approved respirator or dust mask when exposed to harmful or nuisance dusts.
* Use appropriate hearing protection equipment in noisy areas.
* Check the retracting lower blade guard to make certain it works freely.
* Ensure that the blade that you have selected is sharp enough to do the job. Sharp blades work better and are safer.
* Check the saw for proper blade rotation.
* Set the depth of the blade, while the saw is unplugged, and lock it at a depth so that the lowest tooth does not extend more than about 0.3 cm or 1/8” beneath the wood.
* Keep all cords clear of cutting area.
* Circular saws are designed for right-hand operation; left-handed operation will demand more care to operate safely.
What should you do to work safely with a circular saw?
* Check the retracting lower blade guard frequently to make certain it works freely. It should enclose the teeth as completely as possible, and cover the unused portion of the blade when cutting.
Circular Saw
* Check that the retracting lower blade guard has returned to its starting position before laying down the saw.
* Keep upper and retracting lower blade guard clean and free of sawdust.
* Disconnect power supply before adjusting or changing the blade.
* Allow the saw to reach full power before starting to cut
* Use two hands to operate saws - one on a trigger switch and the other on a front knob handle.
* Keep motor free from accumulation of dust and chips.
* Select the correct blade for stock being cut and allow it to cut steadily. Do not force it.
* Secure stock being cut to avoid movement.
What should you avoid when cutting with a circular saw?
* Do not hold or force the retracting lower guard in the open position.
* Do not place hand under the shoe or guard of the saw.
* Do not over tighten the blade-locking nut.
* Do not twist the saw to change, cut or check alignment.
* Do not use a saw that vibrates or appears unsafe in any way.
* Do not force the saw during cutting.
* Do not cut materials without first checking for obstructions or other objects such as nails and screws.
* Do not carry the saw with a finger on the trigger switch.
* Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
* Do not rip stock without using a wedge or guide clamped or nailed to the stock.
Do Not Over-Reach
Clearly, this guy just lost his head...
Several families rented rooms in the home, Knapp said.

Illegals?
Hummmm.....
If you try to cut off your own head and fail do you know you failed?
Someone should have given the guy a heads-up on the proper procedure.

Not completely. His mother did though.
Tails you win... head I lose?

“Ruiz”.
That might indicate something.
Poor child! And why couldn't these 3 adults hear a chain saw running and maybe wonder what was going on...????
Dude should have invested in a table saw and a big clamp.
Illegal Mexican converted to the ROP and putting a new “spin” on the favorite torture of ROP?
Tragic. Sick. Beyond sick.
But first, lets' take a minute to talk about... shop safety.
I haven’t seen anything about immigration status, but the dead perp had other criminal problems.
Arthur Ruiz was sentenced to 18 days in jail and three years probation for refusing to leave a home on Thanksgiving 2004. He was sentenced to 45 days in jail and three years probation for being under the influence of drugs in Fullerton in 2000. He also pleaded guilty to driving drunk in Garden Grove in 1999.[snip]

Chain saw...
Circular saw...
By using a circular saw, the murderous psycho was obviously looking for a slightly more precise cut than he'd get with a chain saw.
LOL!! Yeah, soon as I typed that I noticed what I’d done. Not good either way. Dang!! A circular saw....you’d have to make a couple passes with that,wouldn’t ya? UGH! And I though my kids didn’t like me!
He should have started with himself first and told her to stop screaming because she was next.
Sorry, but LOL.
A bit more information:
[snip]
Guillermina Neri, who showed up later with a friend, said she was among eight people who live in the house. She has lived there for two months.
She thought she was awakened by a house alarm Tuesday. She said it sounded like something electrical. She also heard a “low screaming.”
Police arrived and told her not to come out of her room.
The mother was a respectful woman who always said hello, Neri said. She worked a house cleaner.
“She was a very nice person,” Neri said.
Neri never noticed any problems between the mother and son. She said she rarely saw the son during the day, and when she did he would wear a jacket with a hood hiding his face.
“He used to come out at night,” Neri said through a translator.
The mother always said the son was sick and very shy, Neri said.
Neighbors, who describe their street as quiet, did not know much about the victims. They said the people who live at the house have lived there for three years.
Paula Sanchez, who lives across the street, said she had waved at the victims occasionally.

This is just horrible.
Thanks for more details. “Sick”, is right!
More weird stuff in So-Cal...

He should have used a demolition blade in a Sawzall instead.
Or an electric chainsaw, what a loser.
Well, I am sure there are also many legal immigrants with that name, but the crowded housing situation is a red flag to me.
