Unusual way of the carotid artery method

[Asphyxiater]

Case: A 37-year old male was found dead in his home where he lived alone, with no signs of forced entry to the house. The body was lying supine on the dining table, with the feet hanging free and the head completely resting on the table. A thick, orange-coloured rope was wrapped three times around the neck and below the table where the head was resting was a 20kg demijohn full of water, with a broken rope with the same features wrapped around the neck of the bottle.

Discussion and Conclusion: The current case is unique in respect of showing the postmortem findings which could be created following the application of pressure with a force of 20kg on the airway and blood vessels. The necessity is emphasized for detailed examination of the scene to differentiate suicide from murder and of information from before death and from the autopsy to correctly establish the cause of death.

That's another take on hanging, I guess.. when you look at the pictures on Suicidewiki, people pull their rope around their neck in all sorts of orientations. Anyway is possible as long as you get the outcome you want..

So interesting!

Might want to put the picture under a spoiler btw, it could be upsetting to some. I know we're all here for similar reasons but seeing a picture of a corpse is not something everyone is okay with.

This could be very handy information for people who want to do the hanging/partial-hanging method but struggle to find a suitable place to hang from above. There's easily far more places where you can essentially hang yourself horizontally.

Looks painful.

That looks incredibly interesting, so you don't really hang, you just put a butt-load of pressure on your neck, this gives me an idea

What he did?
I supose the demijhon is always on the floor and he raised his head to where the three knots leave him. But the rope was broken during the process and I don´t know why.

Add it to the books! Full suspension, partial and now supine with water jug.

Strange, I've never come across something like that before.

Very interesting. I'll add this to my list of possibilities

No reason to do nore than than one wrap on the neck, more wraps are just less likely to tighten correctly.

Guide: Instant Lights Out Method

I have devised a method to CTB that I haven't come across anywhere in this exact form. I tried to CTB (not this method) long time ago but failed. Since then based on my experiences I have had a long time to come up with, and perfect this design. Side Note: I have both SN and SA, but if I was...

I read about a prison ligature suicide just like this yesterday, except the guy used a very large bucket with water dripping into it as a delay. This would cause issues with the jugulars closing first but i guess not if you take sedatives.

I didn't understand the connection with the cylinder full of water, if he didn't use it to put pressure on the neck then it's not hanging but a tourniquet, maybe he used it to test.
