PALMS (CBS) — A Westside woman was found dead on Thursday after she apparently killed herself by using a chainsaw, police said.


KNX 1070′s John Brooks reports the gruesome death was discovered early Thursday morning by the victim’s sister.

​

Valerie Nash, 47, was found about 12:40 a.m. by her sister in the bedroom of her townhome in the 3600 block of Keystone Avenue near Overland Avenue in Palms, said Sgt. Richard Parks of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific Station.

Nash was discovered with a chainsaw wound on her neck, Parks said.
“At this point, we’re investigating it as a suicide, as she left a suicide note,” he added.
Initial reports claimed the victim was found with the chainsaw tied to her neck, but Parks said those reports were inaccurate.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said authorities will try to determine whether she had a history of depression and whether she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

I have serious doubts about this being a suicide.

Didnt we already have this thread?

Chainsaw can make any stab and slice look like dog food.

It's certainly not an elegant method. IMO it would be much more likely that someone held it against her than she going solo. I think it would take a severely altered mind to wield such a heavy, noisy, smelly, and furiously vibrating device against oneself. Is it possible that the note was planted?

women don't usually commit suicide in such a violent manner. When men commit suicide we don't fuck around, but women tend to take softer (and less effective) approaches.
She could be the exception to the rule, but a chainsaw is a pretty fucking violent way to go even for a man.

it says the wound was on her throat, i would guess it doesn't take all that much pressure ( especially from a running chainsaw ) to cut a major artery/vein. she jitters from the vibrating chainsaw, niks her neck, drops the thing, bleeds to death.



...though if she managed to cut her own head off with a chainsaw that would be a badass way to go.

She needed a better source for drugs.

Seriously, if I decided to go out, it would be with a bang. That's just too much work.
Shotgun to the back of the throat (bite down on that muzzle!) probably leaves more of a mess than a chainsaw, but quick, easy, and effective! :biggrin:
