N2  - Hanging is a common mode of suicide and homicidal hanging is rare and is usually possible in the children, thin, elderly and in adults under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We here present a case that appeared like homicidal hanging due to the unusual presence of the ligature material around the face and neck. On detailed examination and from circumstantial evidence it was found to be suicidal. A thorough autopsy examination of the body and meticulous examination of the scene are crucial in such cases where there is doubt regarding the manner of hanging.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
