Why does the medical examiner vomit when he sees his toes pointing at himself?

Mainly related to the nature of the case, because the real suicide hanged person, toe drooping is not serious. In most cases, it was suicide, but he was alive before he hung up. If the toes are seriously tilted downward, there is something wrong. This person actually lost consciousness before going up, or was in a coma or dead state. So how does an unconscious person hang himself? Obviously, it's dead.

This shows that this case is not a suicide case, but a criminal case, which belongs to the case of killing and falsifying the scene. This situation will be more complicated. The most basic first judgment of forensic medicine is to judge the general direction from the appearance and posture of the body, and then conduct a detailed investigation of the body. There is no superstition in this, but it involves the nature and complexity of the case. Suicide toes are relatively parallel and toes droop.

How did he hang himself? In fact, it was not the strangulation that killed him, but the rope that strangled the artery, which eventually led to his death due to lack of oxygen in his brain, and his chin and cervical vertebra were injured and fractured. Therefore, people who commit suicide by hanging themselves die horribly and painfully. The whole process usually takes a minute or two. People who hang themselves will become weak because of lack of oxygen in their brains and cannot save themselves at all.

The death scene of hanging by hanging is that the face is bloodshot and black, the facial expression is distorted and painful, and the limbs are upright, so the appearance of the hanged person is very different from other types of death. Most other ways to die are not as good as hanging. The hanged body is relatively straight, and those postures will not be distorted too seriously, because when hanging, the brain is weak after lack of oxygen, and it becomes a vertical hanging.

But there is a hanging feature, that is, it is not obvious that the toes of both feet press down to the ground, almost parallel to the ground, and the toes are slightly to the ground. This is because the muscles of legs and feet are tightened and toes are almost parallel to the ground after the hypoxia struggle during suspension. Even if there is drooping, it will not be too serious, just a little naturally downward. This is the real way of hanging.

Of course, why doesn't the forensic doctor want to see the hanging corpse tiptoe to himself? In fact, the so-called toe-to-toe is actually toe-down. It's not that the forensic doctor is afraid. Because of long-term contact with corpses, forensic doctors have no fear of corpses under normal circumstances, so they don't want to see their hanged people tiptoe to themselves here, not to say that they are afraid of seeing such corpses. There is actually a reason for this.
