Decapitation is the complete separation of the head from the body. This can occur through various means, including beheading as a form of execution or punishment, or as a result of severe trauma or injury. Historically, decapitation has been used as a method of capital punishment in many cultures and time periods. The primary method for execution by decapitation involved the use of a sharp blade, such as a sword or axe, wielded by an executioner. In modern times, decapitation is rarely used as a form of execution, with most jurisdictions having abolished capital punishment or opted for less violent methods. Accidental decapitation can happen in industrial accidents, traffic collisions, or other situations involving extreme force. In the context of warfare, decapitation strikes refer to targeted attacks aimed at eliminating a leader or key figure within an enemy organization. In biology, decapitation can refer to the removal of the head from an organism, often in experimental settings or in instances of severe injury to an animal. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the removal of leadership or a central authority. The process of decapitation results in immediate cessation of brain function and is invariably fatal.
