A Chinese man cut off his penis and threw it into a river following an attempt to take his own life. The 41-year-old man, named only as Mr Chan, said he cut off part of his penis while heavily intoxicated. He claimed that he had found life too difficult after his wife divorced him three years ago. The incident took place in Guangzhou, southern China, on Friday, reported the People's Daily Online. Mr Chan was found by passers-by at the side of the river and immediately rushed to hospital. Doctors could only treat the external wounds because the rest of his reproductive organ was not recovered.41-year-old, named only as Mr Chan, cut off part of penisHe had been drinking by river in Guangzhou, southern China, after workDoctors were unable to reattach his penis as it was not recovered
