Unusual suicides with electric saws, aka: she cut her brain out

"Four suicides by band or circular saws are reported, some with very unusual features. In one case, a two-fold amputation of the left forearm was observed in a female schizophrenic whereas another female suffering chronic depression committed suicide with a Band Saw by amputation of the upper skull including almost the total brain. It seems noteworthy that three of the four deceased were females with severe psychiatric disorders."
