When sharing an apartment with his friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin, Van Gogh was shaving and heard a voice telling him to kill his room mate, this was later diagnosed by Vincents doctor as a seizure in which the noise sounded as though it was coming from a person standing to his left. Acting on what he had been told to do, van Gogh walked to the park in which his room mate was walking in an attempt to kill him with the same straight razor he was shaving with. After an unsuccesfull attempt however Vincent decided to instead cut off the source or the voice, the lower portion of his left ear, he then proceeded to do so and wrapped the dismembered extremity in a newspaper which he later gave to a prostitute named Rachel asking her to keep it safe. Vincent and Paul never saw each other after this incident.
