L.A. woman commits suicide with chainsaw, police say A Los Angeles woman killed herself with a chainsaw, police said Thursday. Police reported to the 3600 block of Keystone Avenue in Palms about 12:40 a.m. Thursday, after the victim's sister arrived and called 911, said LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman. She described the victim as being in her mid-40s, adding that fire officials say the body's decomposition indicates she may have been dead for as long as a day. "Two sisters, they share an apartment," Eisenman said. The door [to the victim's room] was jammed a little, and the sister was able to see her on the bed with a chainsaw next to her. Eisenman said the case was initially labeled as a possible homicide, but that changed when investigators found a suicide note. Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Larry Dietz said a coroner's official is still at the scene and his office has no additional information at this time.
