You'd have to have the saw revved up pretty goddamn fast and come in at your neck at the right angle with a lot of force in order to completely sever your own head. I don't think it's likely the guy did it to himself.
Like my Dad always told me if you suspect foul play..."Look for a motive."
I wonder who might have benefited from the dude's death.
That wouldn't work. You can get electric chainsaws so it's not for that reason. But a chainsaw needs a fair bit of force applied to cut through something substancial. I really doubt the weight of the chainsaw would be enough. Enough to slice open his jugular and bleed to death - yes, but not enough to decapitate him.

TRANSECTION.

He even had a cocktail of pills to knock himself out, and then rested the saw on his neck.
When the timer went off, the saw sliced through his neck in an instant.'
... so it was an electric chainsaw?
