N2  - The mechanical asphyxia caused by strangulation with a rope is a form of violent death related to classically homicidal forensic etiology and occasionally with the accidental. Suicide by this method can be considered exceptional as is necessary to maintain the pressure in the neck after the loss of consciousness. We report two cases of strangulation with a rope of suicide etiology and we collected various procedures described in the legal literature. © 2012 AsociaciÓn Nacional de Médicos Forenses.
