RESUMEN

La muerte por ahorcadura, suspensión o colgamiento, es generalmente suicida y con menos frecuencia accidental. El ahorcamiento homicida es inusual, estando descrito como mecanismo para disimular la verdadera causa de la muerte.
La presencia de signos vitales van a permitir distinguir entre una suspension vital y otra postmortal. En este número, vamos a mostrar imágenes de algunos signos de ahorcadura discutiendo su origen vital.
La autopsia reglada del cuello, en ocasiones, no muestra signos macroscópicos de vitalidad, por lo que tendremos que recurrir a la microscopía para la detección de los mismos. Esta es la causa de que incluyamos en esta sección (esencialmete macroscópica) imágenes microscópicas.

Palabras clave: ahorcadura, asfixia, suspensión.
ABSTRACT

The death by hanging or suspension is generally suicidal and with less frequency accidental. The homicidal hanging is unusual, being described like mechanism to disguise the true cause of the death.
The presence of vital signs allow us to distinguish between a vital suspension and another postmortal. In this paper, we are going to present images of some signs of hanging discussing its vital origin.
The standardized autopsy of the neck, sometimes, does not show macroscopic signs of vitality, reason why we will have to perform histopathological studies. This is the reason why we include in this section (mainly macroscopic) microscopical images.

Key words: Hanging, asphyxia, suspension

Hanging deaths result from compression of the airway and neck vessels as a result of suspension in such a manner that the force acting on the ligature is that of all or part of the weight of the body.

The entire autopsy report was:
"The body showed advanced decomposition with skin discolouration, slippage and
numerous mature maggots. The facial characteristics were severely distorted. Two tattoos

suspension. There were no other signs of injury or disease."
The cause of death was given as:

1b. Hanging
The advisors noted there was no examination of the internal organs, nor were tissues o
