SAMUT PRAKAN, THAILAND — A 52-year-old man in Thailand met a grisly end last month when a home fix-it job with a power saw went badly wrong. <br /> <br />The deceased, identified in reports only as Sumut, had planned to scale some scaffolding to solve a termite problem on Feb. 28. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, he did not take proper precautions and used a makeshift ladder, with the tool powered-on. <br /> <br />As he was getting to work, he slipped and lost control of the circular saw. <br /> <br />The blade’s steel teeth tore into his neck and chest. <br /> <br />His injuries were severe, and probably not survivable even if he had been treated immediately. <br /> <br />The deep lacerations to Samut’s neck and chest resulted in heavy loss of blood, and he died at the accident scene.
