HANGING: There is a depressed, focally dried and abraded, noncircumferential ligature furrow of the neck that peaks slightly on both sides of the neck, more steeply on the right side than on the left. On the right side of the neck, the furrow bifurcates anterior to the ear. with one arm that peaks behind the right ear and one arm that extends to the right side of the back of the neck. On the back of the right side of the neck at the end of the lower arm of the furrow is a 1/2' x 11, irregular, red abrasion. The furrow ranges from 13-3/4" to 15* long (measured from both ends of the furrow on the right), and ranges from 1/8" to 1/2" wide. Anteriorty, the furrow passes over the thyroid cartilage. On the upper edge of the right side of the furrow beneath the chin is an adjacent. % x 1". inverted V-shaped. linear abrasion that ranges in width from 1/8" to 1/4". Beneath the left side of the mandible is a faint, 1/2" x 1-3/4", irregular, red abrasion with multiple, interspersed, deeper, red abrasions that measure up to''/. x 3/8". The face and head are plethoric above the furrow, with petechial hemorrhages of the face that are most marked within the eyebrows. There are multiple, petechial hemorrhages of the palpebral conjunctivae of both eyes, and confluent hemorrhages on the periphery of the right bulbar conjunctiva. There are faint petechial hemorrhages on the mucosal surfaces of the upper and lower lips. Within the parenchyma of the tongue are multiple, focal, spotty, purple hemorrhages. There is diffuse, purple hemorrhage at the base of the tongue. There are no hemorrhages of the anterior strap muscles of the neck. Posteriorly, there is a single hemorrhage in the left, deep, paraspinal muscles.

BACKGROUND: On 12 August 2019. the Forensic Anthropology Unit received a hyoid and larynx that were removed by Dr. Kristin Roman during the autopsy of a 66-yearsold male and submitted for a trauma analysis. The hyoid was cleaned in warm water and a combination of sodium bicarbonate and enzyme detergent. The larynx was placed in formalin and the soft tissues of the thyroid and cricoid were manually removed to facilitate examination. The specimens were examined radiographically. macroscopically and microscopically. 2cm flin 1 igure 2.
