March 2000, Australia) A man in his early thirties died in the 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 discovered that the man, Bruce Coltrane, had been found by his wife after she heard cries of agony coming from the workshop.
It was a hot day, with the temperature soaring well into the 40's C, and Coltrane was enjoying an ice-cold Coca Cola. MacKenzie believes that the man became aroused by the heat and boredom, and started to masturbate.
During his masturbation session, he decided to enjoy a bit of self-piercing by hammering thin nails into his foreskin. He apparently slipped and missed the nail, hitting the glans of his penis with the 2 pound hammer and splitting it wide open. In shock from the pain and the sight of his mangled organ, he reached for the Coke and poured the cooling liquid on to his bleeding member whilst staggering towards the phone.
What happened next defies belief. Coltrane's pain was so extreme that he passed out and fell to the floor. He woke several hours later to discover to his horror that not only his penis but also his scrotum and testicles were completely missing.
The investigation revealed that the blood and sugary drink had attracted rats which proceeded to feast on the unconscious man's exposed genitalia, even delving into the soft flesh of his intestines, only stopping when he regained consciousness and began to move. Bleeding profusely he cried for help, but it was too late for Coltrane. He died in the hospital from shock and loss of blood.
