Help Pressure on the neck?

[blivogade]

I lost a friend to hanging, complete suspension from tree branch, in her autopsy the cause of death was pressure on the neck.
I know i sound dumb so apologies for that but is that cutting off the airway or the carotid? would pressure on the neck mean shed have suffered for long?
Sorry again, i just need answers of which i cant seem to find online, i really hope she didn't suffer for long.

Pressure on the neck is most pressing the carotid. By full suspension the carotid is more likely closed than at partial suspension. Full suspension is a really quick and not painful death if you use a good rope

Thats given me some sort of relief thankyou, i really hope it was quick and not painful for her, suffering in the cold dark woods dying in pain alone is what im scared happened, no one deserves that.

A good rope should not be too thick or too thin and schould not be stretchable/elastic.
Be sure it was quick, at full suspension it should only be about seconds until you pass out. The "last dance" is something you do also after you pass out, your body wants to survive and kicks and shakes to get out of the noose. But you are not really there then...

why u thynk she chose to ctb?

Lost a parent, lost her partner, multiple mental health problems and convinced everyone hated her. i think it was probably an impulsive action though.

I tried to use a ligature on my neck out of desperation while in hospital. I tied a sock aroiund my neck which was very tight and I could barely breathe. Yes! It was very painful.
Eventually,I was so exhausted and I seemed to be getting nowhere,so I pulled the knot to the right side,where I must have hit the right spot as the next thing I knew was coming round on the floor with a paramedic giving me CPR and being covered in piss.

"Pressure on the neck" is unspecific, so it could be the arteries or the airway or, perhaps more likely, both.

This is exactly what suicide prevention activists are trying to achieve: make suicide as painful and traumatizing for the suicider as possible.
