ABSTRACT: Committing suicide by hanging is very common now-a-days because it is the cheapest method and it produces painless death. Any person irrespective of sex, age and socioeconomic status can commit suicide by hanging any time by using any material available at that time as a ligature material. Some of the commonly used ligature materials are rope, wire, electric cord, saree, veil, lungi, towel, bed sheets etc. Sometimes unusual ligature materials like hand kerchief, belt, shoe laces, hospital dressing bandages can also be used. Here in the present case a middle aged person committed suicide by hanging using elastic crepe bandage as a ligature material.
