Man accused of beheading his parents sings Tina Turner after being shot: Video

Wild footage shows a California man accused of beheading his parents and their dog being gunned down by police – and then belting out Tina Turner's “What's Love Got to Do With It” as he lies bleeding on the ground.

Orange County Sheriff's officers found Joseph Gerdvil on a road outside of San Juan Mobile Estates on July 9 as they rushed to a grisly crime scene in San Juan Capistrano.

They had just found the headless bodies of his parents – 77-year-old Ronald Gerdvil and 79-year-old Antoinette Gerdvil – along with their mutilated dead dog in their mobile home, police said.

According to CBS News, one of the heads was displayed on a counter.

Gerdvil was spotted a short time later after allegedly attacking a maintenance worker, authorities said. When police approached him, he was covered in blood, babbling incoherently and throwing a heavy shovel at them.

When a deputy ordered him to step back, Gerdvil charged and the officer fired five shots at him from about ten feet away.

The first three bullets seemed to have little effect on the 41-year-old, but after the fourth he fell to the ground and began to bleed from his wounds.

Within moments, the police took care of Gerdvil, and his already erratic behavior took a truly strange turn.

“I love you… I’m sorry you have to die,” he once said.

“Just finish me off,” he said a moment later. “Please, fuck me in the head. I'm begging you.”

Meanwhile, police officers rushed to treat the wounds and stop the bleeding until medical help arrived.

Then Gerdvil started singing love songs.

“What's love got to do with it, what's love got to do with it? What is love but a second-hand feeling?” he sang from Tina Turner's 1984 hit.

Next, Gerdvil turned to Stevie Wonder.

“I just called to tell you that I love you,” he sang from the song of the same name, also from 1984.

The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital where his condition was stabilized.

He is accused of double manslaughter in connection with the death of his parents.
