Background: Strangulation by ligature, most frequently employed for homicidal purposes, is not a common suicide method. Even more infrequent is the use by the victim of cable ties as a tool of self-strangulation. Methods: We describe a case of a 50-year-old woman who was found dead with a cable tie tight around her neck. In our case, analysis of the circumstantial data and the psychopathological history of the victim—along with an external examination, an autopsy, and toxicological findings—was crucial in the differential diagnosis between death intentionally inflicted by a third person and suicide. Through a narrative review conducted by performing a literature search using online resources (PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect). Results: we were only able to identify eight similar cases. Conclusions: These were compared with our case, to trace similarities and differences, useful in guiding the forensic doctor in the diagnosis of death in such circumstances.
