Very peaceful full hanging video

[Terrible_Life_99]

How did this person hang herself so peacefully? Unfortunately one can't see her set up, the knots etc so I wanted to ask some experts here how could she do it? My theory is that before she hang fully she already compressed the carotids to a point where she was nearly unconscious.

CHINA Young Chinese woman plagued by depression decided to end her own life. She hangs herself in the shower. During this, she is filmed on a camera that she had placed in a suitable place.

This is indeed very peaceful. We can't know for sure. Maybe she hade painkillers or was high of some kind.

I admire her courage and weep for her cats. I hope she is at peace now!

I'm really happy it was quick and mostly painless for her, but oh god, why does it have to be so easy for some people, and not others…

Also I hope those kitties went to another kind individual.

So peaceful and comforting. To me it looks like she really knows how to put minimal pressure to loose consciousness without putting immediately all her body weight on the neck. For a moment she puts a foot on the chair, but even in that moment the pressure on the neck is probably enough to keep cutting the blood flow.

After just 10 seconds of continued but light pressure she passes out and only after that she hangs fully by the neck.

All comments are saying it's fake. Thoughts ?

don't take comments from gore sites serious. Most of them who have an account there are disgusting scum that enjoys people die. How should that woman faked it? I believe its real and my theory is she compressed the carotids perfectly while staying with one foot on the chair and thats exactly how i'll do my hanging. I tested it once it was actually a coincidence Because i stepped some steps down from the ladder and without realizing it the noose already compressed the carotids so strong that i was very close to get unconscious

That doesn't look like a suicide. You can tell by how relaxed her wrists and hands are. There isn't any of the usual decerebrate/decorticate posturing indicative of brain damage.

That being said don't quote me on that. I haven't completed my undergrad. It's just contradictory to the literature I've read about litigation hanging deaths and emergency medicine protocols.

Lemme pull up PubMed one moment.

It looks fake... the movement of her legs*, her arms remain placidly at her sides, almost inert...

*They look deliberately done, unlike the spasms generated by the body itself in response to the lack of oxygen in the brain.

How could she fake it and what would motivate someone to fake a hanging video? What would the person gain from that?

Not everyone siezes. Some flop like a fish, some just hang there. Most are somewhere between.

Okay so first things first: By "peacefully" do you mean without convulsions? Or that you aren't struggling? When you see people convulsing in hanging videos that's not them struggling. Those are reflexes triggered by asphyxiation. You're unconscious at that point.

Update from my last response: I found a fun lil read! It's the chapter "Death by Hanging" in Essentials of Autopsy Practice (link). I've attached a PDF to this post.

The convulsion in successful hangings usually occur after the person losing consciousness. Here's the timeline for 14 hangings:


Nobody really knows why some people don't convulse when they die. There's a section that goes over an case study where someone hung themselves and their body remained motionless:

The only exception to this sequence was the unusual case of a hanging without decerebrate and decorticate rigidities [ 18 ]. A 52-year-old man hanged himself by completely suspending himself from a ring in the ceiling. When he stepped off the stool, the movement of the body stepping off the stool created a rotary movement around the ceiling's ring, and the body started to revolve around the ring. Apart from the rolling around the ceiling's ring, the body stayed motionless for the duration of the movie, and no decerebrate or decorticate rigidity was observed. It was suggested that the lack of usual motor responses in this particular case might have been caused by the vestibular stimulation of the rotary movement. It is well known that the decerebrate and decorticate postural reflexes are triggered by three types of afferent sensory information: muscle proprioceptors (sense changes of length or tension in muscles), vestibular receptors (detect head motion), and visual inputs (sense movement in the visual field). The vestibular system plays a particularly important role in the postural attitude of decerebrate and decorticate rigidities. In animal models, cutting the vestibular nerves or destroying the labyrinths abolishes the input from the vestibular system and reduces decerebrate rigidity. Stimulating the anterior lobe of the cerebellum also reduces decerebrate rigidity. In this exceptional case of hanging without decerebrate and decorticate rigidity, the revolving movement of the body is hypothesized to have interfered with the development of the postural attitude.

I checked the full case study and uhhh it's well over my head. Maybe someone with a better understanding of neurophysiology can chime in to explain that.
