scrambler Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) A narcotics traffic stop on the Downtown Connector turned deadly Saturday afternoon when a man climbed over the interstate railing, fell about 35 feet and was decapitated on a wrought-iron fence, Atlanta police said. Officers in a marked car stopped the man about 4:30 p.m., as he drove south on the interstate above Auburn Avenue. The man, who has not been identified, stopped his vehicle and tried to flee by climbing over the railing, Lt. Danny Agan said. Police still are investigating whether the man jumped or fell off the raised interstate. "This is a new one for me in 29 years," Agan said. The decapitation shocked people who work in the neighborhood. Gary White, an income tax preparer, came out of his office when he heard the commotion. "It's surreal," White said. Agan said narcotics officers had been trailing the man for much of the day. Agan did not know if the officers who tried to arrest the man would be placed on administrative leave. "This is not something normally covered under the [standard operating procedure] of the department," he said. pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 Source The original source was AccessAtlanta.com( AccessAtlanta.com ) I guess the question is, is this real or is it PhotoShop?

ryland_moore Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Assuming he was jumping off the brick wall, his head/neck got lodged in between the gates and the force could have decapitated him, but wouldn't his body be on the other side of the fence? It does look a bit photoshopped, but one could go check out rotten.com to see if it is up there. They will usually put that kind of stuff on there.

cracked Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 No, it could be real, what if he fell with his legs out in front, with his head farthest back? Either way, it's damn gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, it's a true story ( did a search in the stacks and found link to the story ). These are bootleg photos. BTW, you have to establish a username and password to look at the original article.

ncascademtns Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I don't know? That top post that is through his skull looks a little fishy. It is not as long as the rest of them and if you zoom in on it, it almost looks like it is not even there. As though it was not put back in after the head was overlayed. Also, there seems to be no trauma to the head, as if he had just closed his eyes to have the picture taken. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 There was a trucker on I-80 near Truckee, CA that made a similar jersey barrier mistake. Nasty accident on the other side of the road inspired him to stop, and he hopped over the barrier to go help. Unfortunately, there was a gap between the sides and it was about 80' to the ground. I think that sad tale did not include decapitation, but as my buddy says, "sometimes, it just don't pay to help people." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott_J Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Maybe if his pants had not been low riding so far he could of made the jump. The police I know like the low ride look. They say it makes it easier to run down the criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
