Violinist's Gory End
UK - A top classical violinist killed himself by severing every vein and artery in his neck as he attempted to cut off his head with an electric circular saw.
Divorced alcoholic Laurence Rowden-Martin, 48, was found in his blood-soaked bath after being seen drunkenly taking the tool into his Sheffield flat.
An inquest heard police halted a murder probe after learning he'd suffered mental problems since a nerve condition ended his career.
Verdict: Suicide.
