ANALYSIS OF CAUSE AND MECHANISM OF DEATH FROM HANGING WITH BOUND HANDS

Abstract

Abstract: Cause and mechanism of death from hanging with arms bound of 10 rabbits were studied by blood gas analysis. Resuits indicated ahat remarkable changes of PH, PaO2,PaCO2, HCO3-, BE－B, K+ and Ca2+ occured as compared with those before the experiment. Respiratory arrest was found before heart arrest. Authors believed that death was due to an unsual form of asphyxia. The weight of the body intrerfered with movement of the intercostal muscles resulting in diaphragmatic breathing. Over a prolonged time,this would lead to impaired respiration and asphyxia.

Key words: hanging, blood gas analysis, asphyxia
