The case of an 51-year-old man, who died about 24 hrs after having tried to commit suicide by hanging is reported. Death was caused by rupture of an arteriosclerotic layer in the left carotis communis artery with consecutive intramural bleeding and thrombosis of the left carotis communis, carotis interna and carotis externa arteries. In this respect another case of an injury of the neck and thrombosis of the carotis interna artery is reported. On the basis of these two cases the clinical and legal importance of diagnosis and causal connexion are discussed.
