A sixty year old man was found stangled to death with a part-elastic belt. As the ecchymosis, which are typically found above the mark of strangling, were missing, considerable doubt emerged at first as to the cause of death and to a suicide by strangling. Measurements of the elasticity of the instrument of strangulation, of the size of the neck and the head, as well as self-experiments aimed at reconstruction the circumstances had, in pathophysiological respect, the result of a method of self-strangulation similar to a typical hanging. The remaining circumstances also point to a suicide.
一名60岁男子被发现死于用一条部分有弹性的腰带勒颈。由于通常在勒痕上方发现的瘀斑缺失，起初对死因以及是否为勒颈自杀产生了很大疑问。对勒颈工具的弹性、颈部和头部尺寸进行测量，以及旨在重现当时情况的自我实验，从病理生理学角度来看，结果显示这是一种类似于典型上吊的自我勒颈方式。其余情况也指向自杀。
