Question

Which one of these is not included in the classification of hanging?

• A. Partial hanging
• B. Complete hanging
• C. Venous congestion
• D. Atypical hanging

Hint:

Understand that hanging classifications are determined by body position and ligature type, while venous congestion is a secondary effect of the mechanism of death.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Hanging is classified based on the position of the body and the ligature application, such as partial hanging (body partially suspended), complete hanging (entire body suspended), and atypical hanging (unusual ligature placement). Venous congestion refers to the pooling of blood in veins, which is a physiological or pathological effect observed during hanging but not a classification itself.
