Method Could someone take a look at this article? (Ligature strangulation)

I can't make head or tail of what this person did with the water jug, or whether that was used to apply pressure. It doesn't look attached in the photos...


WARNING GRAPHIC (shows photos of the deceased)

It's not that graphic, I just thought I should put a warning...

I skimmed over the report and I think it went like this:
His setup:
Rope
Water Jug
Diningtable with expansion element
Small table
phone cord

He fed the rope between the dining table and the expansion element and used one end to tie the rope to his neck with the knot on the neck.
The other end of the rope was connected to the water jug that he had put on the small table. To one of the small table legs his phone cord was tied to.
He janked on the phone cord to tilt the small table untill the jug fell.
The jug then hung right below his neck and applied pressure on his throat and tightened the ligature till he died.
Because or the wooden edge and weight eventually the rope tore.

seems like an elaborate setup for self strangulation

It is elaborate, I wonder why anyone would do it like this.

He prolly didn't trust full suspension. Ironic, since the 'rope' broke anyway. But there was very little blood in the throat, so it seemed like a quick one. Hope it was. Fascinating setup. It really does look like he wanted a broken neck. A lot of people think that's the goal when hanging, and there isn't room in a home to achieve the drop, in the conventional methods.
A jug like that, i think they called it a demijohn? could cut off carotids half full, I bet. 10 kg?
