SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WSAU) – A Sheboygan man whose wife bit his tongue off during a goodnight kiss can be heard moaning for help during a 9-1-1 call made public Wednesday.
Dispatchers sent an ambulance to help Willard Lueders. But the audio recording clearly presents Karen Lueders singing Christmas carols, telling Willard that's he insane and that the world is going to end.
Paramedics were able to recover the severed portion of tongue and took it and Mr. Lueders to Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee. A hospital spokesperson said Lueders remains hospitalized in satisfactory condition, but could not say if efforts to reattach the tongue were successful.
A judge has ordered Mrs. Lueders to undergo a mental exam to see whether she is competent to assist in her own defense on mayhem charges.

Willard said that he had gotten up at around 11:15 PM to go to the bathroom, where his wife was sitting on the toilet. “He advised that he kissed her while she was sitting on the toilet and that she had gone into a manic state, biting off his tongue,” according to a criminal complaint filed today. Willard added that his wife had also grabbed his penis.
