What is Suicide by Hanging?
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."
(definition from Oxford Languages)
Considered to be a "simple" suicide method, materials used for Suicide by Hanging are readily available to the average person, making it a difficult thing to prevent.
According to https://uihc.org, the items most often used for self-strangulation are
Belts
Ties
Scarfs
Bedsheets
Cords
Ropes
and Shoelaces
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."

The young man, Paris Lane, 22, of Harlem, used a 9-millimeter handgun to kill himself on March 16 in a lobby at the Morris Houses project in the Bronx, where he had been visiting his girlfriend.
Mr. Lane and his girlfriend standing near an open elevator door. She pulls her hands across her face as if wiping away tears and kisses him briefly, then they hug for a long moment, until she gently pulls away and steps into the elevator.
Mr. Lane waits for the elevator door to close, stares at it for a second, then pulls out the gun, puts it in his mouth and fires once, falling to the ground.

19 September 2015, Pattaya, Thailand – The son of a senior Pattaya policeman died after shooting himself during an argument with his father over household chores.
Tosawat Boonrod, 21, shot himself through the ear with the service pistol belonging to his father, Pol. Sen. Sgt. Maj. Anupap Boonrod, chief of Pattaya traffic police, at their three-story Soi Prapanimit 1 townhouse Sept. 19, according to his parents.
He succumbed to his injuries later at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya.
Anupap told police and rescuers responding to the shooting that he had sternly reprimanded his son for spending all his time playing Internet games and not helping his mother around the house and in their first-floor mini-mart.
He said he "later changed clothes and left his gun on a table. The two then got into another argument, during which Tosawat picked up the pistol and shot himself."
His panicked mother threw the gun out the window and it was taken by passing teenagers.
Police are still investigating while also trying to locate the traffic cop's gun.

Denis Muravyov and Katya Vlasova, or known as “Russian Bonnie and Clyde” were a teenage Russian couple and on November 14th 2016, the pair encountered a shootout with police that resulted in their deaths.
(Additional info)
-Denis Muravyov (14.8.01 - 14.11.16) And Katerina Vlasova (10.9.01 - 14.11.16) were a teenage Russian couple who had gotten together 7 months prior to their runaway and standoff. They had met at their High School and started dating sometime in April of that year (2016), even though both sets of their parents were against their relationship.
-On November 10th Katya snuck out to a friends sleepover even though her curfew was 21:00. Her mother found her that night and a heated argument broke out between them, which supposedly ended with Katya sustaining bruises to her neck.
The next day Denis and Katya stole their parent's credit cards, withdrew money and took a bus to the Town of Strugi Krasnye a moderate distance away (80km). When they arrived in Strugi Krasnye they headed to Katya's Stepfather's Summer Home nearby.
-On their third day at the house, (November 14th) Katya's Mother and Grandmother began knocking on the door early in the morning. Denis & Katya answered the door, and Denis asked them to go away.
Katya was standing behind him with a Knife in her hand, which wasn't intended to be threatening according to her recounting of the event in one of their livestreams; but when her Grandmother noticed it she lunged at Katya trying to take it from her, in the process cutting Katya's Hands.
Denis then Drew the TT-33 Pistol, shot Katya's mother in the right hip, and they Barricaded themselves inside while Katya's relatives retreated to seek help and call the police.
Shortly afterwards the Police arrived outside of the house, and were going to try and negotiate with them; but as they began to, Denis appeared in an upstairs window and opened fire on their van with one of the shotguns.
One officer was injured although not severely and the Police fled to the cover of Bushes further down the road.
-An unknown but short time later, Denis & Kaya began live-streaming to Periscope.
During the Livestreams which altogether spanned almost 2 hours; they answered classmates questions in shock at their school, Fired at the empty van, a TV inside before throwing it outside as it began to smoke, Prepared and ate Noodles, and towards the end began Drinking Alcohol, and Chainsmoking as reality began to set in.
-Their final livestream began briefly showing the shotgun lying infront of them, and all throughout they were sullen and quiet. Between their answers to questions, only Katya sniffling was audible. As the stream closed to an end, Katya avoided eye contact with the camera, tearing up while she said their last words. "Thanks everyone for your support. For the time we spent together. This was really awesome. We will miss you. Love you. Goodbye."
-Katya was too afraid to kill herself, as she made clear towards the end of their streams, so she asked Denis to do it for her. She sat on the couch in the upstairs room where they recorded almost all of their livestreams, and Denis shot her in the face; before getting down on his knees in front of her and shooting himself in the face.
-An overview of the couch Katya died on, with the Shotgun resting against the arm of it, and her brain matter visible on top of a TV in the lower left corner.
-On November 18th they were laid to rest with Denis being buried first, and Katya being buried second. Shortly after, and a slight distance away.

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A 17-year-old girl died after falling from an apartment building on the Upper East Side, a New York Police Department spokeswoman said
The girl was discovered unconscious and unresponsive in the rear of a building on 82nd Street, near Park Avenue and she was pronounced dead at the scene, the spokeswoman said.
The teen's injuries were indicative of falling from "an elevated position," she said.
Detectives do not believe that any criminality is involved and they are investigating her death as a possible suicide, according to the spokeswoman.
One neighbor told The New York Post, “I was coming out of my apartment and there were three ambulances on the block. It’s horrible. It’s absolutely horrendous.”
Right up your alley right here ;)

SOURCE AND ADDITIONAL DETAILS: https://www.hermantheshocker.com/man-found-hanging-on-the-cage-of-an-elevating-work-platform
“ The body of a 39-year-old man without any history of drug abuse or illness was found in a civic storage building, hanging on the cage of an elevating work platform (cherry picker). The switching panel of the elevator showed signs of ‘cage operation'. Preceding short messages and telephone calls suggested a suicide. Among other items, an open and almost empty bottle of Metasystox insecticide, a mobile (cell) phone and an empty bottle of beer were found in the cage. A residual amount of insecticide was found in the bottle. As the bottle seemed to be of older origin, it was not impossible that traces of the insecticide were present due to its original purpose and use. Thus, it was not possible to know the total amount of ingestion.”
