Abstract

Self-strangulation for committing suicide by the use of ligature is admittedly rare. A suicidal strangulation case from Haryana State, India is discussed in the light of scene of occurrence, investigations of the ligature and its knot. Initially the case was suspected by the police to be a murder, but proved to be of suicidal strangulation.
