Aim: To examine the characteristics of ligature marks and their potential correlation with the manner of death. Materials and methods: The current investigation was conducted within the Department of Forensic Medicine. A total of 100 cases were selected for inclusion in this prospective study. Comprehensive data pertaining to the deceased individual and the circumstances surrounding their demise was obtained through collaboration with law enforcement authorities and close family members. In certain cases, this information was augmented through either on-site visits to the scene of occurrence or through the examination of photographs depicting the scene of occurrence. Results: In the present study it is observed that complete suspension were noted in 80 cases (80%) as compared to 20cases (20%) of partial suspension. Atypical ligature mark was noticed in 85 cases (85%) ascompared to typical ligature mark in 15 cases (15%). In the present study in 56cases (56%) soft ligature materiallike lungi, duppatta, saree etc. were used and in 44 cases (44%) hard ligature material like nylone rope in 15 cases, electric cord in 3 cases, coir rope in 22 cases, plastic binder in 1 case. In the present study it is observed that in 95 cases (95%) there was no fracture the thyroid cartilage and only in 5 cases (5%) there was a fracture of the superior horn on the left side of the thyroid cartilage. In the present study in 96 cases (96%) no fracture was detected and only in 4 cases (4%) showed fracture of the greater cornu on the right side of the hyoid bone. Conclusion: The presence of atypical ligature marks, characterized by complete hanging, contrasts with the more common occurrence of typical ligature marks, which involve partial hanging. In instances of complete hanging, prominent ligature marks are typically observed.
