Man sets fire to trailer, decapitates himself after domestic dispute in York
Shortly after 10 a.m., deputies went to the 100 block of Nathan Place to respond to reports of a domestic dispute. A man involved in the dispute had left the scene before the deputies arrived.
About 15 minutes later, a utility trailer was reported on fire at the intersection of Holmes Boulevard and Wolftrap Road, near the entrance to the subdivision. Deputies and firefighters approached the burning trailer and saw that it was being towed by a white Ford Explorer driven by the man who had left the scene of the domestic dispute.
The man refused to get out of the vehicle, and firefighters noted that he had a cable wrapped around his neck with the other end attached to a nearby tree. The man then accelerated the vehicle, pulling him from the driver's seat and decapitating him. The vehicle came to a rest about 150 yards away on Holmes Boulevard.
