Man cuts off own penis during drunk DIY
Carpenter Stuart Keen cut off his own penis in the bath as he apparently tried to do DIY while drunk. Mr Keen, 54, suffered horrific injuries as he used a saw to cut wood for a cabinet he was making. He rang the emergency services operator and said: "Help me – I'm bleeding to death."
Police and ambulance crews rushed to his home in Wantage, Oxfordshire and found Mr Keen and the severed penis in the bath. He was taken by ambulance to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford in a serious but not life-threatening condition. Surgeons managed to reattach the organ and yesterday doctors said he was in a "stable condition". It is thought he had been carrying out DIY while drunk, but it was unclear whether the incident was an accident or a deliberate act.
His mother Edna, 84, said: "Stuart had a very nasty accident with a saw but he is recovering now. "He suffered tissue damage and had surgery to stitch him up which, I understand, was successful. I have spoken to him and he is quite embarrassed about the whole incident. I was in Somerset when it happened and got a call from the hospital. Hopefully he will be home next week and be able to get back to work which he loves. Stuart is a carpenter and uses sharp and sometimes dangerous tools. This was an unfortunate accident but these things happen all the time to people in his profession."
