But after some creative CSI know-how, Thali, who had taken this body on as his first big case, realized ther corpse was much, much older, from some 300 years ago. Other clues suggested the man had drowned and was engulfed by the surrounding sediments only to be uncovered after some earth-shaking in the region. [8 Grisly Archaeological Discoveries]
Billed as the case of the headless foreigner, the mystery of the dead man enthralled the Thai media in recent days.Clues had trickled in since Sunday's gruesome discovery of the 52-year-old man's head hanging by a rope from Rama VIII bridge in what is believed to be a suicide, Thai and Italian officials said.His headless body, clad in a white shirt and black trousers, was found floating nearby in Bangkok's Chao Phraya river and authorities confirmed a match.Forensics experts determined the body showed no sign of assault and that the "force of gravity" appeared to have separated the body and head, said deputy police commissioner Jongrak Jutanont."We have no evidence that suggested it was a murder," Jongrak said.The unusual death near Bangkok's main backpacker district instantly became a front-page story in Thai newspapers. Media speculated that the death resembled a Russian mob-style execution.The Italian Embassy said their investigation corroborated the suicide theory."The first impression that we got - an Italian head attached by a rope to a bridge - we thought it was a mafia-type warning," said Andrea Vitalone, the embassy's police commissioner."Our analysis confirms that it is possible that it was a suicide. We are still investigating," he said.The man was identified as Tosadori Maurizio of Verona who was visiting Bangkok, said Vitalone, adding that he had no criminal record in Italy but appeared to be in financial trouble.A number of clues helped police determine the man was an Italian national, including clothing by the Italian brand Puma and a bag bearing the name of an Italian hotel, Jongrak said.A Bangkok guesthouse filed a missing persons report about an Italian visitor, which led police to his room. They found photos of a man resembling the victim, Jongrak said. Forensics experts linked the identity by a distinctive mole on the head that was also visible in the photographs.

How about half a rabbit? I have previously seen one headless rabbit in my yard but this was something else. After coming home from work yesterday, I noticed a group of crows interested in something on my lawn. I went over to look and found what appeared to be intestines. A wider search revealed a rabbit corpse, or rather the back half of a rabbit. Its head and torso were missing, as if someone had taken a knife and cleanly severed the body in two. The previous day, I had seen a black cat hanging around, so perhaps he was the culprit. Otherwise, I live in a semi-rural area in the mountains of western NC, so it could have also been a hawk or owl, both of which are plentiful here. This mystery beats crop circles any day!
Just like apparently many others, I stumbled upon this blog after I found my gf's three rabbits (of different sizes) dead and beheaded in our garden this morning. We have a large garden which is completely fenced off and only accessible through doors on both ends. All three rabbits were locked up in a cage, which was naturally meant for chickens but it did the job. The door to the cage had a normal pin lock, which you would have to slide to get open. All three rabbits were found outside the cage, beheaded and left in different corners of the garden. One of them was a huge hare, perhaps one of the biggest rabbits I have ever seen to day, with it's head cleanly cut off and no other bite wounds or impact marks visible. None of the heads could be found anywhere, and I ask myself the same question like many here before me: which animal would only take the head and leave all the other, in case of the hare rather volumptious and fat, body parts behind? There is simply no way a cat could've done this, the hare is almost 4 times the size and any cat would've simply lacked the strength to decapitate a rabbit so cleanly. We had called the animal protection service and were reassured that no fox, cat or other animal would do such a thing. Further it seems that the door to the cage was torn open with the closing part of the lock nowhere to be found, and there are no scratch marks on the wooden door either which you would expect a fox,dog or cat would leave behind trying to open the door by force. I would also be amazed if a fox could rip open a metal lock like that. The lock was cleanly torn out of the door where it was secured by small screws. It must've been done with a lot of force, which I would suspect no animal would be capable of doing. Neither were there any footprints visible or any indication of a battle, ie fur or blood remains. It leaves me completely stunned, because whatever conclusion I draw- it could've only been another human being. There is simply no way that another animal could've caught all three animals if they would've been dispersed in the garden- they would've simply been to fast to catch. neither is there any indication of a struggle within the cage, which means they must've been taken one after the other. one of them was very tiny (picolino rabbit) and incredibly fast- sheer impossible to catch. The hare on the other side was way too big to have his head bitten off like that by another animal without leaving any bite marks behind, his throat had the same diameter as mine (if not even bigger from all the fat). There is no way that the hare's head would've fit into another animals mouth, and it would certainly take a lot of force to snap a large animals head like that. It is a rather disturbing thought that someone would intrude into our garden and kill the rabbits like that. I'm very curious to hear the authorities opinion on that as this is completely bizarre and unexplainable to me. I am very amazed though to learn how many people had a similar experience in this blog. From what i've read, the other animals that were described here were smaller rabbits, which I would understand being killed and decapitated by other animal- but was I saw this morning was a headless hare- a HUGE rabbit whose head you just simply wouldn't get off like that. There is no doubt on my mind that this was done by another human, but then who would do such a thing? Were the heads some kind of trophy? Perverse and disgusting.

I live in rural Norfolk in the UK and this morning found a headless rabbit in the middle of our paddock. There are a lot of rabbits around here and I am used to seeing rabbit corpses dotted around but have never seen a headless one before. The cat doesn't hunt adult wild rabbits larger than him and has never decapitated smaller ones. Maybe an owl, yet only little owls appear around here. An ongoing mystery....
I live in Wisconsin, Midweatern United States. Yesterday I went out to take care of our bunnies Watson and Sherlock only to find one (or NOT find one) missing and the other headless. Mink are commonly known around here for decapitating their prey. Poor Watson and Sherlock, case closed.
What would you do if you opened a package to find a man's head? What would you do if the headless corpse had been swapped for a case of bullion? What would you do if you knew a brutal murderer was out there, somewhere, and waiting for you? Some people would run. Dr Thorndyke intervenes.
It would be highly misleading to suggest that most suicide corpses in the early modern period were subject to such rites of desecration and post-mortem punishment. It was probably mostly applied in aggravated cases, such as murderers, or other criminals who committed suicide to avoid trial and state execution. There was, furthermore, growing medical and moral recognition of the relationship between mental illness and suicide, which led to the more compassionate treatment of suicide corpses when it was determined by the coroner, or other authority, that the act of self-murder was committed whilst insane. In 1742, the Augsburg government decreed that all suicides be given a consecrated burial, apart from those who were convicted criminals who killed themselves. The city executioners were not happy with this further loss of revenue.38 In England, there was a long tradition, carried on into the nineteenth century, of burying suicides and unbaptised babies on the shaded north side of the churchyard.39 Even if suicides were not buried in consecrated land, by the nineteenth century, it was increasingly standard across much of Europe for suicide corpses to be buried quietly and without ceremony close by or alongside churchyard walls, as in Abruzzo, Italy.
