Man Decapitated by Hot Wire Burning Into Neck

Cleveland, Oct 28 -

Erick Els was decapitated today at the American
Steel and Wire company plant. He was drawing a
red hot wire and it broke, releasing from the
tension, suddenly coiled around his neck, which
was burned through in a few seconds, completely
severing his head from his body.
