Accidental hanging is rare across all age groups, and it is even rarer in the adult population except in autoerotic asphyxia. Few cases have been reported in the literature, which describe unusual patterns of accidental hanging. This article focuses on an unusual pattern of accidental hanging of a 25-year-old man, who was in a state of morphine-induced central nervous system depression and found dead in a sitting position with the collar of his T-shirt hanging off a jutting-out root of a tree. The hanged collar acted as a ligature compressing the neck.
意外缢死在所有年龄组中都很罕见，在成人中更是如此，除了性窒息。文献中报道的此类病例很少，且描述的是意外缢死的异常模式。本文重点关注一名25岁男性意外缢死的异常模式，该男子处于吗啡引起的中枢神经系统抑制状态，被发现死于坐姿，其T恤领口挂在一根突出的树根上。悬挂的领口起到了勒颈的作用。
