Wikipedia defines Suicide by hanging as "the intentional killing of oneself (suicide) via suspension from an anchor-point such as an overhead beam or hook, by a rope or cord or by jumping from a height with a noose around the neck."
Commonly used items for Suicide by Hanging
Noose : (noun) "a loop with a running knot, tightening as the rope or wire is pulled, and typically used to hang people or trap animals"
(Definition by Oxford Languages)
Ligature : (noun) "a thing used for tying or binding something tightly."

The division of Suspension Hanging and Drop Hanging
Suspension Hanging Is the suspension of the body at the neck.
Complete Suspension consists of full suspension of the body when Hanging. This is not required as Partial Suspension (or Incomplete Suspension) consists of using the body's weight to tighten the ligature around the neck.
"Elaborate set-ups from high places are not needed for hanging. The only thing needed is leverage. This could be done by using a doorknob or bed post."
(Note from https://Uich.org)
An example of Partial Suspension > 
18 year old Natália Mayer Parreira hanged herself by looping a piece of clothesline over the coat hook on the back of her apartment door

Another example of Partial suspension > https://watchpeopledie.tv/h/suicide/post/134919/syrian-girl-commits-suicide-by-hanging
During partial suspension, the victim may have their knees or feet flat on the floor.

Drop Hanging consists of dropping from a tall height with ligature around the neck, it is usually seen more as an execution method ratjer than a suicide method

Surviving an Attempt/Medical effects
Failed attempts happen when the ligature or anchor poimt breaks, or someone cuts them down in time.
Surviving these attempts lead to various injuries such as
Cerebral Anoxia (A form of Hypoxia specifically involving the brain; when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen) which can result in permanent Brain Damage, results from suspension hanging
Laryngeal fracture (Fractures of the cartilage structures of the larynx or trachea),
Cervical spine fracture (fracture or break in the bone of the neck), result from drop hanging
Pharengeal laceration (may introduce air, secretions and bacteria into the Pharengeal space and mediastinum),
and Cartoid artery injuries (excessive Hypertextension of the cervical spine or extreme rotation of the neck)
Cerebral Hypoxia is the most common cause of death when hanging. Also known as Hangman's fracture
People who are hanged often have marks on their neck from where the ligature constricting them. An inverted V shape can also be seen most times.
Treatment for Survivors
(too lazy to type this one out)
"Initial treatment of survivors follows the 'usual priorities of airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC)'. Treatment should be 'directed at airway control with endotracheal intubation, ventilation using positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), and hyperventilation with supplemental oxygen to control intracranial pressure'. One study of people who experienced near-hanging who were treated appropriately at a hospital found that 77 percent of them survived."
(Suicide by hanging Wikipedia)
Hanging used as Capital Punishment
There are many factors that go into the "ideal" hanging of a subject.
The length of the fall is key in an effective hanging, It must be calculated based on things such as the person's size. (For example, a larger person may only require a shorter drop while a smaller person may need a higher drop.
If done incorrectly, the person could Die via decapitation if the drop is too far, or die of strangulation if the drop is too small or the noose was not placed correctly.
It can take several excruciating minutes for Strangulation to take full effect.
During Strangulation: "the carteroid arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the brain, are compressed, and the brain swells so much it ends up plugging the top of the spinal column; the Vagal nerve is pinched, leading to something called the Vagal reflex, which stops the heart; and the lack of oxygen getting to the lungs due to compression of the trachea eventually causes loss of consciousness due to suffocation. Death then follows in the same pattern as it does when the neck breaks, with the entire process ending in anywhere from five to 20 minutes."

What happens to the body during hanging? How does it feel?
Survivors of hanging attempts recall seeing and hearing lights flashing and ringing noises
In most cases the persons tongue will protrude due to extreme pressure of the jaw, they might even bite through their tongue completely.
The following are some things i found on Quora of people who survived their attempt, and sharing their experiences about how it felt.
"The first thing that comes to you isn't the will to breath but the feeling of your head on the verge of bursting. I remember the vivid feeling of every heartbeat pounding in my head. Every passing beat intensifying the feeling of my head swelling up, until the point that I thought the back of my head would pop open. Thats when the feeling of my lungs begging for air kicked in and I clawed at my throat frantically by instinct. “I don't want to die yet” was what I thought. It's painful and leaves your neck with an obvious mark."
(Chris Peterson on Quora)
"When this event occured i was in a suicidal state of mind but i am not anymore. Right when i setted it up (what i was going to use when i was going to kill myself) i hooked it on me, but i was procrastinating because i was feeling scared. So after i was done with that, i pushed the chair and i was just hanging for 2 seconds.In those 2 seconds, i felt like i was in a movie of someone who was about to meet there sudden death. I was rushing, trying to put my feet on the chair. Then i got back on the chair. This is why i got back on the chair. When i was hanging, my foot was tingling really fast and my face (A mirror was in front of me) was really red. My chest was like screaming at me. My whole body was acting like it was on a workout, rushing so fast. When I got back on the chair. I started having an attack trying to breathe. My head felt so out of air."
(Eliana on Quora)
"When I first tried I was eleven, I hanged myself in my room (I had a hook on the ceiling), I was tall so I kept having to get back on my chair and shorten the rope, when it finally was short enough for my toes to barely touch the ground my head felt like it was going to explode and my eyes felt like they were about to pop out, I choked for a minute, my head got a really warm feeling and my hands started tingling at the end, I chickened out and grabbed the scissors from my boxers and cut the rope."

Ive posted this in the past but i found more content now and context
Video of the Pole Being Removed From His Ass:
a French voice can be heard saying: “He hit the pole” and a second man can be heard: “Yeah, he's impaled on the pole.” A woman's voice then adds: “It's not a fake video is it?”
The CCTV footage that was filmed by the police officers was then shared on WhatsApp with other police officers before being released into the public sphere.
And there was also a second video that was filmed either by a medic or fireman at the Public Assistance – Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP) that shows the bollard being extracted from the man's body.
It shows the critically injured man lying naked with a cardiac message machine in action on his chest and surrounded by three caregivers in green codes and a firefighter and a white vest as they remove the side of the pole from the man's body.
A man's voice can be heard saying “Oh misery! Oh, the cow! Oh, fuck! Ah! But what a horror! What a horror,” which is cleanup genuine sentiment as he then chuckles, before adding with a sneer: “It's good, saved, so!”
The AP-HP confirmed that the video had been shot in one of its facilities, apparently at the Beaujon hospital in Clichy.
They confirmed that the footage is genuine, although not something that happened recently as some Spanish media have been reporting.
French officials also ordered an enquiry to work out how images of the man ended up being shed by police and also how they were shot at the hospital.
The usual story presumably correct reported that the man had jumped on September 27 and was alive as firefighters, medics and police fought to save his life. He died after being removed from the pole one hour after he was delivered to the hospital.
Lawyer Tewfik Bouzenoune 
for the family of the man who died, aged 26, said it was a disgusting invasion of his privacy and demanded maximum punishments for the police officers and hospital officials responsible for releasing the two videos.
Edit: Holy shit i got a famous video!

I had a little problem with the bass (it's always him 🙄), so I decided to "fix" the bass on my cell phone instead of waiting 15 minutes to open the project again in FL Studio.
Hope you like it 🖤
