Question

Which one of these is not included in the classification of hanging?

• A. Partial hanging
• B. Complete hanging
• C. Venous congestion
• D. Atypical hanging

Hint:

Understand that hanging classifications are determined by body position and ligature type, while venous congestion is a secondary effect of the mechanism of death.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Hanging is categorized by the body's position and ligature application. Types include partial hanging (body partially suspended), complete hanging (entire body suspended), and atypical hanging (unusual ligature placement). Venous congestion, the pooling of blood in veins, is a physiological or pathological effect seen during hanging, but it is not a classification.
