Suicide... by knife?

Former Howard Stern side kick Artie Lange rushed to hospital after apparently self inflicted stab wounds.

My instincts tell me there is something amiss here.

Its entirely possible he was trying to commit suicide by stabbing himself. I bit different I must say, but if your determined I suppose you could do that.

I don't understand how someone could stab themselves, but people do some very strange things sometimes!

Stabbing suicides arent that uncommon that one might think.

The Japanese elevated it to almost an art form.

But properly done, it certainly involves a lot of guts.

The dictionary would though:

Quote:

stab (st

b)v. stabbed, stab·bing, stabs
v.tr.1. To pierce or wound with or as if with a pointed weapon.
2. To plunge (a pointed weapon or instrument) into something.
3. To make a thrusting or poking motion at or into: stabbed the air with his fingers.

v.intr.1. To thrust with or as if with a pointed weapon: stabbed at the food with her fork.
2. To inflict a wound with or as if with a pointed weapon.

n.1. A thrust with a pointed weapon or instrument.
2. A wound inflicted with or as if with a pointed weapon.

Pretty much covers the main part though the assistant waiting to slice off the head is definitely an enhancement...

I suppose that with a good dose of alchohal, drugs, and psychosis you might convince yourself but one would think that after the first stab you would be having second thoughts.

I still think there is more to this story than what has been published.
