The lower half of the body was naked and he was in an upright kneeling position with a ligature around his neck. The ligature was a cotton sheet with a slipped noose on the right side of the neck and tied a wooden bar under the roof. There was a mobile phone, pieces of a shattered mirror and a chair on the floor close to the body. There was dried seminal fluid on the left hand and on the floor close to the body. Conclusion: The state of partial hanging was used to reach the state of asphyxia. Prolonged compression of neck or failure to adopt self-rescue mechanisms may have led to death.
