| Popis: | Suicidal ligature strangulation is a relatively rare event-far more common is suicide by hanging or homicidal ligature strangulation. With the increasing rate of suicide in the United States, use of atypical ligatures is likely to increase as well. Herein, we present such a rare case, a man who died by tightening cable ties around his own neck, and discuss the necessity of full scene and autopsy investigation to ensure proper certification of manner of death. |
