“…Anterior and lateral neck hemorrhages in nonasphyxial, nontraumatic deaths are relatively common. 18 Such hemorrhages deserve special attention, for they may be mistakenly attributed to neck compression. Caution must be used when anterior neck lividity is encountered at autopsy to ensure accurate etiological attribution and diagnoses.…”

Distinguishing artifactual postmortem hypostatic hemorrhages from injury is key to accurately diagnosing strangulation. Despite being a well-known phenomenon, the literature is limited. This retrospective case-control analysis characterizes anterior neck musculature hemorrhage patterns associated with postmortem artifact versus strangulation by comparing incidental neck hemorrhages noted on 20 autopsy reports from 2020 to 2021 to 10 strangulation controls from 2015 to 2021 in Northern Nevada. Cases were analyzed for body position and location/severity of musculature involvement. For artifact cases, 50.0% were prone, 40.0% supine, and 10.0% side-lying. A total of 55.6% of artifact cases and controls demonstrated neck hemorrhage laterality. A total of 80.0% of the prone cases versus 77.8% of supine had diffuse hemorrhage versus focal. A total of 63.2% of artifact cases involved the sternocleidomastoid versus 70.0% controls (P = 1.000), 26.3% involved soft tissues versus 20.0% (P = 1.000), 9.1% the sternohyoid versus 40.0% (P = 0.149), 27.3% the sternothyroid versus 60.0% (P = 0.198), 9.1% the thyrohyoid versus 10.0% (P = 1.000), 18.2% the omohyoid versus 30.0% (P = 0.635), and 10.0% the tongue versus 50.0% (P = 0.026). Despite the limitations, this study demonstrated that while prone positioning is a contributing factor to the development of anterior neck hemorrhages, there are other factors than postmortem hypostasis.

“…One of the most common methods of attempted suicide worldwide is by hanging. As such, Akhlaghi et al [ 14 ] reported that 22.1% of the attempted suicides were done by hanging. Also, 75.4% of all attempted suicides were done by hanging in Ilam city [ 15 ].…”

Objectives: Hanging is a common method of attempted suicide. This study investigated the epidemiological profile of attempted and completed suicides by hanging in southern Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 1167 suicide attempts by hanging between 2011 and 2019. All data related to suicide attempts by hanging were collected from the Fars Suicide Surveillance System. The trends in suicide cases and the mean age of attempted and completed suicides were plotted. The chi-square test was used to identify suicide-related factors. Crude rates of incidence, mortality, and standardized fatality during the study period were calculated. Finally, logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of death in individuals who attempted suicide.Results: The mean age of those who attempted suicide was 33.21±16.82 years; the majority were male (80.5%). The rate of attempted and completed suicide by hanging were 3.50 and 2.79 per 100 000 people, respectively. The case-fatality rate was calculated as 79.34%. The results of our study indicated an increasing trend in suicide attempts by hanging. The likelihood of death was 2.28 times higher in individuals with a previous history of suicide attempts and 1.85 times higher in those with a psychological disorder.Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest an increasing trend in attempted and completed suicide by hanging, especially among individuals with a history of suicide attempts and psychological disorders. It is necessary to take action to reduce the rate of suicide attempts and identify the underlying causes of suicide attempts by hanging.
