Is there possibility of attaching his head back to the torso?
Why does it matter? He’s dead.
Basically, you have two viable options: stitching or welding. Of course, if you want to restore life, electricity will also be required.
So you might as well insert the electrodes in his neck while you’re at it, right?
I wonder if the wire went twang! or thwip! when he hit it?
Welding? Are you suggesting that this guy was some sort of android?
I’m figuring that right before this happened he saw a hot woman, leaned out and yelled, “Hey baby! How about some head?!?!”
I assume that the family is hoping for an open-casket funeral; it’s true that dead is dead, but I would argue that even a corpse looks better when it has all the proper appendages, etc.
I forgot to add, reataching and then reanimating.They do that in movies , so what is the big deal?
LMFAO! This hypothesis aligns itself with my second option from this post.
So that’s where they get the voiceover: “A story ripped from today’s headlines!”
Who knew?
Nah. They found his head and shoulders in the bushes. Big time dandruff problem.
Maybe he was feeling light-headed.
The family could just prop him up in a comfy chair at the wake, with his head in his lap looking out at the mourners, his hands neatly folded on the crown of his head.
Add a coin slot to his neck and they could cover the funeral expenses!

This is hysterical.
The thought occurs to me that all this happened because he asked the driver to pull over.
Passenger: Dude, I gotta hurl.
Driver: Don’t puke in my car, man!
Passenger: Then pull over!
Driver pulls over but fails to stop. Passenger, too drunk to notice that the car hasn’t stopped, leans out window. The rest is history.
*Life goes on without me
Cause I… ain’t got no body*
That is not something I wanted to think about. 
And a sign: “Gotcha me!”
I’m betting on “<cosby> Oh no you don’t either. </cos>”
In all my years as an electrician, it was my experience that guy wires go punnggg when plucked. Has to do with the diameter and the length, I think. I’d be more interested in knowing what musical note was generated. I’m thinkin’ a low ‘G’, mebbe.
