Sounds like a tooth pulling attempt gone terribly wrong.

Scene from the wire showing how it’s possible.

It’s entirely possible if the person does not stop gravity from taking over

If you’re trying to kill yourself, you choose not to do either of those things. You’ll black out after a few minutes, and die within 30.

Had a resident once try this method with a cable cord. He did not succeed.

Depending on the position he was found in, it could have been a failed attempt at autoerotic asphyxiation.

People also commit suicide by putting plastic bags over their heads. I guess it's not that hard if you are really determined.

It isn’t an accident. They are deliberately doing it.


What you think when they pass out their brain stem takes over and gets their feet under them?

It's kind of like removing a loose tooth with the door, but different.

ETA - Damnit.

Well if you tie a rope around a door knob and around your neck, and your arse doesn’t touch the floor, what do you think is going to happen?

Don't you INXS?

Hutchence's body was discovered by a hotel maid at 11:50 AM. Police reported that Hutchence was found "in a kneeling position facing the door. He had used his snake skin belt to tie a knot on the automatic door closure at the top of the door, and had strained his head forward into the loop so hard that the buckle had broken.


ETA: Door closure not knob. Doh!

I am not buying this shite. This door knob method just doesnt add up.


I review cases monthly with the county medical examiner. Not only is it possible, it happens often.

A lot of people assume it's like trying to hold your breath until you die. Your body won't let that happen. As soon as you black out, involuntary responses take over and start you breathing again. But if you induce asphyxiation through mechanical means, your body has no choice but to succumb.

If you take enough drugs, you could hang yourself from a doggy door hinge
