  1. Mods deleting this, which will happen is ridiculous. Clearly a major news story – you shouldn’t have the right to censor conversation, even if it is speculation. As long as no allegations are being made there isn’t anything illegal taking place.

  5. From a few different sources someone has had their head taken off during to a bus

  7. >Reports of a “severed head” have emerged after police locked down an area of Edinburgh’s old town on Saturday night.

    >Pubs in the area were evacuated after dozens of officers were called to the Cowgate just after 8pm.

    …

    >Police Scotland said they are dealing with a road traffic incident. Comments left on the force’s Facebook page claim the images of the alleged incident are “gruesome” and “horrific”.

    >Forensic officers have now set up two separate tents at the scene.

    Sounds absolutely horrific. I can’t imagine what those involved must be going through.

  8. Apparently its a severed head – i got sent a photo of the supposed head and body which is grim but i cant confirm if its real

  12. There are pics and videos out there.
    By the looks of it , the poor victim was elderly

  13. Surprised this isn’t on one of the main news sites. Although I suppose its only Edinburgh and not London!

  14. The photos and CCTV footage are grim viewing.

    Feel really sorry for the poor chap who has suffered a horrifically tragic accident, and for the lad who picked the head up thing it was a Halloween prop/joke.

  15. Weirdest shit this afternoon. The good lady started talking about decapitation; not an every day occurrence, then I read this. Jeez

  16. There is a video on twitter people picked the head up thinking it was a prop for Halloween dudes gone need therapy for life

  17. Made a post here earlier but it was taken down. Condolences to family it’s absolutely horrific, such a shame

  18. If yous have seen the photos or videos there is no blood at the scene

  19. My brother is currently consoling my 16 year old niece after footage of this popped up on her social media.
    Absolutely horrific.

  21. Walked past with my girlfriend after coming for a day trip, we were just leaving after having a drink and watching the rugby to go to the train station, looked to be a prop as not much blood, there were about 3 men standing over it, went to zoom in on my phone to try get a closer look. I got told by a viably upset and irate man to leave which we did.

    I asked if it was real he said aye it is and told us to go away.

    We didn’t see the head fortunately, looked like a Halloween prop with it being Saturday night and people dressed up to go out.

    He was next to the curb of the road with a Tesco bag placed between his legs arms out kind of like a starfish, grey tracksuit and black shoes. Clothes looked intact. There was very little debris/blood to indicate a road traffic accident and it was right next to a tourist area/rugby bar playing the Scotland Figi match on the big screen. What made us think it was fake is the hands looked so pale.

    Didn’t look like a bus had hit him at all.. looked like a headless body.

  22. what a nightmare!! I hope everyone gets the help they need after witnessing something so traumatic

  23. Omg may thus poor person rest in peace how absolutely awful ..thoughts with his friends and family prayers abound 😪😪😪😪😪

  24. The videos of people tbagging his head is fucked up even after people realise it’s a real head
