Victims precipitate 0% of all crimes. The decision to commit the crime is still made by the perpetrator and always precipitated by that person. No matter how dumb, naive, careless, greedy, or even guilty of a crime the victim may be, the person who decides to commit the crime against them is still the perpetrator and the person who was subject to the crime is still the victim.

How easy is it to hang a person to make it look like suicide when in fact it could be murder?
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.

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.
