Abstract

 Deaths due to hanging are routinely encountered by the Forensic Pathologists all over the world and are the leading method of suicide in India. In equivocal circumstances, the ligature deaths are distinguished into hanging and strangulation by a thin line and possibility of a certain foul play arises whenever any unusual circumstances or findings are encountered. We report a case where a person was found partially hanged in a rear of a covered tempo. The external and internal findings during postmortem examination were of a typical hanging case. The chemical analysis reported Ethyl Alcohol in concentration of 62.30 mg/dl of blood of the deceased. The findings were corroborated with the circumstantial evidences and the cause of death was concluded as antemortem hanging. The authors aim to add the findings of this case to the Medical literature for future reference, and recommend that the autopsy surgeon should interact with the relatives in such cases so as to address their doubts about the cause and manner of death.
