[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The body could have been propped up or caught in such a way that appeared he was "standing".[/quote]

Could that mean he was found hanging? (hung?)[/quote]

I don't know how someone could be simultaneously hanging but standing. I just shudder to think of all this. [/quote]

To die you don't have to hang yourself from a height. He could have hung himself by tying a rope at the height of his head then lifting his feet off the ground. The weight of his body and the noose is what would asphyxiate him. Once unconscious, his feet would relax and hang back down to ground level. He might look like he was standing. I know two teenagers who hung themselves from heights less than the height of their body.[/quote]

How horrible.  You would have to have the willpower (for lack of a better word) to keep your feet lifted from the ground. Just horrible. I have been thinking a lot about this poor boy and his family.[/quote]

My husband used to be a crime scene investigator. He once investigated the death of a man who hanged himself by tying a rope around a post in his yard and leaning forward on his knees. You want to talk about willpower. [/quote]

My brother killed himself by wrapping his belt around his neck and putting the buckle hole through the hook you hang clothes on in the car.  The door was open and he 'sat down' in the space between the seat and the door.  If he didn't want to die, all he had to do was stand up.  Since there were no scuff marks, no signs of s struggle, no disturbed rocks (it was in a gravel driveway), he apparently really wanted to die.

I feel so sorry for what that family is going through.[/quote]
