    There was blood next to clothing the man had been wearing, which was found a short distance away from his body, KTLA reported.

    The LAPD is handling a probe into the incident, which took place near the LA Convention Center.

    A photographer told OnSceneTV that the man “cut his p*nis off” and lost his life from excessive blood loss.

    Graphic footage taken by the photographer, who alleged the man was “mutilating himself,” showed the man’s body lying on the ground with what appeared to be a large wound in his groin area.

    The case comes after a 55-year-old woman in northern Spain allegedly sliced off her 67-year-old boyfriend’s privates before going shopping.

    The woman was arrested in January at a property in Uribarri, Bilbao, where officers found the body of a man “with clear signs of having suffered a violent d*ath.”

    After the crime, the perpetrator reportedly went shopping with bloodstained hands. She later confessed to amputating her husband’s privates and turned herself in.

    Neighbors said the couple lived in a fifth-floor rented flat and described the victim as a local bar owner. His partner had moved in with him four years before the crime.

    The attack allegedly occurred while the victim was sleeping. It is also believed that the incident was linked to an alleged jealous outburst.

    Also, this year, a woman was found guilty of special aggravated bodily harm in South Korea after cutting off her husband’s manhood.

    Only identified as A, the 58-year-old woman attacked the 50-year-old victim in a cafe on Ganghwa Island after reportedly suspecting him of infidelity.

    The woman’s son-in-law entered the establishment and bound the man, who had been drinking alone and had fallen asleep, with a rope and industrial tape.

    She then stabbed her husband around 50 times before using a sharp tool to sever his privates.

    The victim underwent surgery and survived the attack. Despite the physical and psychological damage, he reportedly reached a settlement with his wife and formally asked the court for leniency.

    The woman was sentenced to seven years in prison, while her son-in-law was sentenced to four years.

    The perpetrator’s daughter was also fined $2,020 (KRW 3 million) for hiring an unregulated private investigator to track her father’s movements.

    Last year, an Ohio woman was accused of breaking into her boyfriend’s home and cutting off his scrotum, leaving him hospitalized.

    Toledo police filed warrants for the arrest of the 45-year-old, Jeanita Hopings, on charges of felonious as*ault and aggravated burglary.

    The motive for the attack remains unknown. After the crime, Hopings fled the scene, and the victim identified her to the police.

    According to court records, the prosecutor later dropped the charges against Hopings after the victim failed to appear for a hearing that was scheduled for October 28.

    His “package”? If you can’t write about something using the actual words and instead replace some childish euphemism, don’t write about the thing. Really, what is happening here?

    And that is the problem with policing words, the language loses precision. Just reading the headline, I thought there was a package b**b.

    Come now, if you're going to do the decent thing and provide a link for people to reach out for help, at least do the decent thing and have the balls to say the word "suícide" without putting stars in it. It's a thing, it happens, people do think about it... and not writing the word because it may upset an advertiser (who clearly isn't smart enough to understand that this is an entire article about people having their penile tissue removed in non-medical ways) *IS* part of the problem. Face it, confront it, stop making it taboo and then maybe those who need help might find somebody to talk to with less shame and stigma.
