N2  - Examination of skeletonised remains for the cause and manner of death is a highly challenging task for forensic experts. We report an unusual case of postmortem decapitation following hanging with the presence of a well-preserved ligature mark in the partially skeletonised body. Careful death scene investigation, interpretation of circumstantial evidence and meticulous autopsy provided information on the cause and manner of death.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
