Belmont Man Planned Grisly Suicide With Guillotine And Homemade Bombs

New Hampshire - With common items such as concrete blocks, a saw blade, bare wires and gasoline, a despondent David Moore devised systems that would first kill him and then turn his home into a funeral pyre.

Neither worked as planned.

On Monday, Belmont police discovered Moore dead in his bedroom, some 20 feet away from a homemade guillotine he had built in his living room. He had gone as far as bolting tracks of metal piping to a ceiling beam to guide the blade, authorities said.

Flawless it was not.

Upon entering Moore’s home, police found dried blood throughout the living room. Moore’s body had a deep gash to the back of the neck, said New Hampshire State Police Sgt. Andrew Parsons, the commander of the state police bomb squad.

The badly wounded Moore had crawled or staggered from his guillotine to his bedroom to die, Parsons said.

Police also discovered hard-wired Molotov cocktails that had never detonated at the 10 Silkwood Ave. home.

Belmont police called in the bomb squad when they found eight to 10 plastic water bottles stuffed into holes punched into the living room wall. All held a couple ounces of gasoline. All were wired to two electrical timers and a power strip.

But the strip’s switch was in the off position.

“Obviously, his intent, once he decapitated himself, his home was supposed to go up by the Molotov cocktails,” Parsons said. “It’s no doubt in my mind, if power had been applied to those lines, he would have successfully started a fire with those bottles of gasoline.”

Parsons said the call is the oddest he has experienced in his 17 years on the bomb squad. He saw nothing to indicate the death was suspicious.

Moore lived in a two-bedroom modular home in a park of modular and mobile homes off Ladd Hill Road. Police tape was around the exterior of his two-bedroom home yesterday. Windows were boarded up with foam insulation, a move the financially struggling Moore took to save on heat, Parsons said.

Belmont Police Chief Vincent Baiocchetti said police discovered Moore’s body around 6:30 p.m. Monday. Police had gone to the home to check on Moore after he had not been heard from for several weeks, Baiocchetti said.

After discovering the bottles with gasoline, police called the Belmont Fire Department. Electricity was cut off to the house, and investigators from the state bomb squad arrived around 9:30 p.m. to make sure the structure was safe.

Terry Hickey, who lives next to Moore’s home, said that she had not seen him since October.

“He lived there, but I didn’t really know him. He was living there when I moved here 13 years ago, but he left for several years and only came back two or three years ago,” Hickey said. He was divorced and had a daughter, she said.

Several years ago, Hickey met Moore’s parents, who stayed with him during the summer. “They were from the Midwest and they were nice people. I feel sorry for them now with what has happened,” she said.

“None of us knew him very well,” said another neighbor, Gordon Bartlett. “He pretty much stayed to himself. He was very much a loner.”

Bartlett said Moore was an electrician who had worked off and on for several different companies in the area. No one named David Moore holds an electrician’s license, according to an on-line data base maintained by the state Bureau of Electrical Safety and Licensing.

Parsons said it could not be immediately determined how long Moore had been dead. The body had not decomposed at a normal rate because the house was cold, he said. Water in the toilet had frozen and cracked the bowl, he noted.

This reminds me of something I saw on one of those 'Banned from TV' videos a few years back....

A guy drove his truck on to a bridge and stopped in the middle, halting traffic. He then proceeded to get out and looked like he was thinking about jumping as he was standing on the edge looking down. Then he seemed to have second thoughts and went back and got in his truck. (Suicide attempt #1 aborted) About thirty seconds later, the whole inside of the cab of the truck goes up in flames. A few seconds after the that, the drivers side door opens and the guy comes out coughing, but very much alive. (Suicide attempt #2 aborted.) He then proceeds to walk around the back of his truck, grab a shotgun out of the back and blow his head off right there in the middle of the street.

Now my question is this... If you have a loaded shotgun at your disposal, why the hell would you try to commit suicide by flame?
