(16,210 posts)There would be bruising as this wasnt a full body suspension hanging and a person would fight back. Also, since the body releases the bowels at death, the stains on the clothing can verify the position of death. This how strangulations that are made to look like hangings get caught.
Also drugs would be caught during the autopsy screen.
