"A man in his early thirties died in hospital today after being
 discovered in his downtown Antique restoration workshop suffering from severe
 groin injuries. He was barely conscious after an apparent accident when
 paramedics rushed him to Freemantle Royal Infirmary where he died of his
 injuries."
 
 Cub reporter Angeline MacKenzie later discovered that the man Bruce
 Coltrane, had been found by his wife after she had heard cries of agony
 coming from the workshop. The temperature on that day was well into the
 40's - Coltrane was enjoying an ice cold Coca Cola. MacKenzie believes that
 the man became aroused by the heat and possibly boredom and started to
 masturbate.
 
 During his session he decided to experiment with self-piercing by hammering
 thin nails into his foreskin. He apparently slipped and missed the nail
 hitting the gland of his penis with the 2 pound hammer splitting it wide
 open. In the shock of what he had done he reached for the Coke and and
 poured the cooling liquid on to his bleeding member whilst staggering
 towards the phone.
 
 What happened next defies believe. Coltrane's pain was so extreme that he
 passed out and fell to the floor, It's understood that he woke several
 hours later to discover to his horror that not only his penis but his scrotum
 and testicles completely missing.
 
 The investigation revealed that the blood and sugary drink had
 attracted rats which had proceeded to feast on the unconscious mans exposed
 genitalia even delving into the soft flesh of his intestine only stopping when he
 came round. Bleeding profusely he cried for help and later died from
 shock and loss of blood.
