A man committed suicide in West Dallas on Wednesday by decapitating himself in front of horrified motorists.

A 35 year old man tied a rope to a fire hydrant before wrapping the other end around his neck in Texas, before accelerating.

Before the horrific act, the man scribbled a message on the side of the vehicle. The first two words appear to say 'no code' while the second part 'Codbo' could be a reference to the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Witnesses described how he then got into his van and pressed on the throttle.

His body was thrown out of the vehicle and was seen lying on the street by stunned drivers.

According to CBS DFW the van eventually came to a stop without running into any cars or pedestrians.

Witnesses described on social media how the body was still in the road hours later as police cleaned up the scene.

The van was eventually taken away while a cordon of patrol cars surrounded Mr Rodriguez's body.
Police are now investigating the incident but revealed that no one else was hurt.

In the aftermath, shocked witnesses posted images online purportedly showing the victim still on the road.

Call of Duty Black Ops is a version of the computer game franchise that releases a new edition almost every year.

It is a first-person shooter that was developed in 2010 and is set in the Second World War and the Cold War.

Gamers are armed with machine guns, rifles, pistols and grenades and play a fast-paced game of kill or be killed.

Last year, a coroner in Britain stated that four teenage suicides were partly to blame on versions of the game.

A spokesman for the Dallas Police Department said 'Witnesses observed the victim, a Latin male, tie a rope around a fire hydrant and then around his neck.

'He got into his van and accelerated, causing the rope to tighten around his neck and decapitated himself. A suicide offense was documented.'

According to records he had been arrested a number of times for driving while intoxicated.

a similar thing happened in sydney, australia around 30 years ago
a couple had a panel van, opened the tail gate, tied fishing wire from a tree to their necks and accelerated away

obviously, both were decapitated

I bet his Kdr was pretty low in the game.

That's determination... but suicide over a video game?
