decorpitate

(v.)
1. To remove the body from the head.
(This is more appropriate than decapitate because we think of a person as his head. You can cut off my legs, hands, etc. and I will still be me as long as I have my head.)
2. To remove the body from any of its parts.
3. To remove a head of state from power.

1. Willard was decorpitated upon his conviction in the in the gruesome murders of the Merkin children.
2. I used to date a drunk who collected power saws until he decorpitated my hand.
3. Saddam Hussein was decorpitated long before his capture by US troops.
