Abstract
Partial hanging is generally associated with prominent eye and facial changes and less prominent ligature mark. We are reporting a case of partial hanging in a 26 years old male showing unusual findings. Although he was found hanged in sitting position, then also deceased body had prominent ligature marks and absence of facial and eye changes.
