    Area of Science:

    • Forensic pathology
    • Medical examination
    • Cause of death determination

    Background:

    • A sixty-year-old male presented with death by strangulation.
    • The absence of typical ecchymosis above the strangulation mark raised initial doubts regarding the cause of death and suicide.
    • The instrument used was a part-elastic belt.

    Observation:

    • Detailed measurements of the strangulation device's elasticity were taken.
    • Neck and head circumferences were recorded.
    • Self-experimentation was conducted to reconstruct the circumstances of death.

    Findings:

    • Pathophysiological analysis indicated a method of self-strangulation.
    • The mechanism was found to be similar to typical hanging.
    • The physical evidence and experimental results supported a suicide conclusion.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering atypical presentations in strangulation deaths.
    • Elastic ligature self-strangulation can mimic other causes of death.
    • Forensic investigations must integrate biomechanical analysis and self-experimentation for accurate determination of suicide.
