Hello, first of all, thank you for helping us.Keep those questions coming, folks.
First of all- a body does not typically need to be identified by a family member if identification can be clearly established. In other words, if I were to ctb- I would make sure my identification was on my person.Hello, first of all, thank you for helping us.
My question is related to the general protocol with the body/corpse after someone identifies it. Hope you can help elucidating this technical/protocol side. I'm trying to make sure the CTB event will be as smothly as posible to my family.
1- if my body is found dead in the hotel room on a Wednesday at noon (checkout time), what path will my body take until my family is called; and 2- what time aprox. will the police or morgue or hospital call my family? Will my family be contacted on wednesday evening or much later?
3-In fact, who would make this call, would it be the coroner? The police? anyone else?
My plan is to take N and leave a letter to my family, a Living Will, a letter to the coroner (i will state that it was suicide and I will also leave the evidence that would be the bottles of N), my prepaid funeral arrengements contacts,my ID and my mother contact number all next to my body.
4- also i'd like to know if all those letters and documents mentionated above will be delivered to my family?
5- im also planning to send an schedulled email to my family, with all documents and letters mentionated above. Do think this option is valid? If positive, for what time and day do you think i should schedule this mail in order to delivery the message at apropriate time, which i guess is right after someone (police/morgue) call my family?
Sorry if those questions are dumb or out of your reach.
Many thanks!
I think for those that are truly suffering, it may be the answer.Do you think suicide is ever the answer?
Keep in mind that I'm not a coroner- but hanging is a restriction of blood flow and oxygen.Hello. This question is in regards to hanging. From reading this forum, I was under the impression that the idea is that the pressure on the carotid arteries (by rope, etc.) block off the blood supply, which would cause death. Supposedly in like ~10 secs.
However, when researching info on "celebrity" hanging suicides, it seems like the coroner's report states that the death was due to asphyxia. Wouldn't the "cutting off the blood flow" scenario cause a different cause of death?
This one is more for the event if someone gets rescued in their attempt. How common would it be to have structures in the neck collapsing from the full body weight pressuring it (by the hanging). Sorry, tried to look up the names, such as thyroid cartilage, larynx or the trachea?
