N2  - This article reports an autopsy of a 39-year-old deceased male who had done suicidal strangulation using multiple self-locking cable ties. The deceased used seven ligatures, constricting at a different level around the neck to accomplish the suicidal strangulation. Each ligature was made up of two cable ties attached to each other. The detailed autopsy examination and crime scene investigation confirm the manner of strangulation as suicidal. Suicidal strangulation is uncommon but not rare. Varying ligature materials and different locking methods were used for this purpose. The present case is remarkable because of the use of multiple self-locking zip cable ties as ligature material.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
