Carpenter Severs 'Manhood' in Timber-Sawing Accident
Wednesday, July 08, 2009
A U.K. carpenter accidentally chopped off his own penis while sawing timber to build a cabinet, his mother says.
Stuart Keen's mother, Edna, said her 54-year-old son was cutting wood when he suffered the horrific accident.
After the accident, ambulance personnel found the man bleeding in the bathtub.
Keen's mother said surgeons were able to reattach the severed appendage.
"Stuart is a carpenter and uses sharp and sometimes dangerous tools," his mother said. "This was an unfortunate accident, but these things happen all the time to people in his profession."
