What is a complete separation of the head from the body called?

thank you for clarifying that it's fatal. I'm sure that is useful information for...someone... out there.

Little b isn’t decapitated

I have seen this in horror movies!! love horror movies!!

not fatal for the cockroach. only temporary.

amarie29, of course it's fatal! I mean it's the separating of head from body. what else did you think it was!?

watched a lot of these on supernatural, yes, VERY gory!!

amarie29, hence the term " running around like a headless chicken"
