摘要：

A retrospective study of 84 cases of suicidal hanging was undertaken in which petechial haemorrhages or congestion were seen in 27%, soft tissue haemorrhage in 29% and fracture of the hyoid or laryngeal cartilages in 36%. Fractures were found to be related to increasing age and were not found when a soft ligature had been employed. Petechial haemorrhages and congestion were related to the completeness of suspension. Apart from the lack of fractures in the soft ligature group any of these findings, either singly or in combination, was found to occur without regard to age, suspension type or ligature type. No evidence was found of clustering or seasonality. The findings are compared to other series and discussed with regard to the mechanisms of causation.
