Abstract

A 25 year married male was found hanging, in a kneel-down position, from the hood of a cycle rickshaw with the help of a cloth, in an isolated area, next to a park. The deceased was in a financial crunch. Thorough scene investigation by a team of forensic experts, law enforcement agency and the findings during postmortem examination, ruled out the possibility of foul play. The cause of death was suicidal hanging. Though various bizarre methods of suicidal hanging are being used by people, the case presented here is unique and needs mention in forensic literature.
