abstract="Hanging is one of the most common methods of committing suicide in India. Death occurs usually within few minute of hanging. However, few cases have been reported in literature in which death has been delayed and occurred after a certain period of survival. Patient, if rescued, may develop respiratory distress, pulmonary oedema, convulsions, raised intra cranial pressure and unconsciousness immediately after incidence. Here we present a case of delayed death following attempted suicidal hanging in which the victim survived for 5 days duration after his rescue from hanging. © 2015, World Informations Syndicate.
