Difference between lig and partial hanging?

[Grave]

I've seen a lot of discussion about both these methods.

I understand that full suspension hanging is when you have a ligature tied to something high that will take your bodyweight and the other end around your neck, with you ending up hanging off of the ground, but the difference between partial hanging and lig is confusing me. Can anyone explain it for my clarification (and also what the theories behind each are - ie, what makes you die from it)?

Cheers

So is there not really much difference in experience between both those forms of violent mechanical asphyxia?
