Gossips..Would you rather I said..?

The mechanism of death from hanging is effectively decapitation.        
R cerebral anoxia (which can lead to permanent brain damage), laryngeal fracture, cervical spine fracture, tracheal fracture, pharyngeal. The ligature in suicidal strangulation may be knotted or tightened like a tourniquet. As the ligature is tightened the face and neck may become congested due to slow venous compression. Laryngeal fractures are rare and injuries are mild and often confined to the single ligature mark around the neck. Respiratory asphyxia, interruption to cerebral blood flow because of occlusion of vessels in the neck, and cardiac inhibition secondary to nerve stimulation...Loss of intestine and bladder control, swelling of the tongue, soft tissue and eyeballs...        
         
There are other methods such as poison, morphine, bloodletting and numerous other ways, just as physically taxing, however.. I just found an image of hanging fitted the illustration a bit better than all the other ways.. I could have illustrated the image by using the fact of representing the corpse in a way that is accurate and true to life however these are things in life that are best left esoteric.
