N2  - We report two interesting cases of accidental death due to hanging, in two adult men. Both of the corps have been found outdoors. In the first case, a 40 years old man, death was determined by an association of mechanical asphyxia due to hanging by the collar of the shirt that he was wearing, and positional asphyxia; postmortem toxicological analysis of alcohol levels in blood and urine revealed a concentration of 3, 10 mg/ml and 2, 45 mg/ml, respectively. The second case presented is a 60 years old man who died from hanging by a handle of a textile travel bag; toxicological results were negative. © 2009 Romanian Society of Legal Medicine.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
