It is not as easy as one might believe. In most cases, the "hanging" is to cover up a death brought about by another method. Modern forensic science can ascertain actual cause of death very quickly. Most victims will not willingly allow themselves to be hung. Blunt force causing unconsciousness will leave telltale marks on the skull. Garroting or manual strangulation will leave distinctive marks about the throat unlike those of an intentional "suicidal" hanging and are easily recognized by a coroner. Even victims rendered unconscious by chemical means have distinctive bruising as they are manipulated into the "fake" hanging position and routine blood analysis will show use of drugs. When there is any doubt whatsoever, the coroner will look for all these signs and more.

if anyone could answer this question i would be very grateful as i am struggling to find information to improve my coursework for a Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde essay and need to know some background information on the crime in Victorian society. many thanks Georgia ... im doing the same thing and i found out that it was mainly stealing & prostitution See the Links below prostitution was rife, as the Victorians were extremely prudish, and even the word 'leg' was seen as rude. On the surface, Victorians were clean and polite, yet under the surface the dark truth looms. there were more prostitutes than ever before, and men of the upper class were visiting them whenever they could. Jack the ripper came from Victorian times also. Go on any one of the links given. They will help! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is a very good explanation!
Could you mean Five Gates to Hell (1959) ? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052808/ 1 out of 3 people found the following comment useful:- Shabby little shocker, 17 January 2005 Author: reelguy2 from Boulder, Colorado George Bernard Shaw once referred to Puccini's Tosca as that "shabby little shocker." That's an apt description for this Vietnam war film written and directed by James Clavell. Every manner of atrocity is committed in this unredeemable mess: garroting, rape, human boiling, crucifixion, pick-ax murder, and of course point blank shooting. Sure, it's a bloody war, but Clavell goes for the obvious sensational effect, without meaningful human values, much in the same way we've seen more recently in slasher pics. Clavell manages to elicit terrible performances from his usually-commendable team of actors. Patricia Owens as a cynical nurse and Shirley Knight as a sanctimonious nun win the awards for bad acting against fierce competition. And for all the murders he commits, the usually tough Neville Brand is surprisingly innocuous, although it doesn't help that he's forced to play a Vietnamese leader. Greta Chi gives the best performance; doesn't that say it all? There's some consolation at the end of the film when the women take arms against their captors. It's rather cathartic, I have to admit. But for sheer unpleasantness for most of its running time, this is a movie to avoid. I believe the name of the movie made in (1960) was FIVE BRANDED WOMEN....
Well in the U.S. we use either lethal injection or electric chair. Although throughout the world others are used along with this. During war times many countries use death by firing squad including the U.S. along with beheading, stoning, gas chamber (world war 2 in concentration camps), and hanging.
Dr. Cyril Wecht explained the autopsy findings in his book Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey. The report revealed that JonBenet suffered from both acute and chronic sexual abuse. Simply put, the six year old had old trauma and very recent trauma shortly before her death.
