Help Hanging: How to make it less traumatic for the person that finds your body?

[okaywhatever]

For full suspension hanging, what are some methods that can help so your body is in a somewhat decent state when it's found? Or any tips in general to make it generally less traumatizing for whoever finds me? I rent a room from a family member so I don't live alone and I am unable to go to a remote location.

hide your face and all the skin

This is a method you really cannot, whomever finds you will be traumatized by it especially if they have some relation towards you. Just being honest.

If possible, place a note on the door before you hang yourself explaining what you've done and telling people to call the police instead of opening it.
To slow the decomposition of your body, you should make sure that your room doesn't have any insects in it if it can be helped, and you should also put an air conditioner on blast at a low temperature, if it's possible for you to do so. The lower the temperature and the less humidity in the room, the better.
When you die, all of the muscles in your body will relax and you will shit and piss yourself. Don't wear any clothes that you don't want soiled. Ideally, put on a diaper to contain all of the mess and prevent the bad smell, and get one of those air scent freshener machines.

The experience will be traumatizing for them regardless, and there is only so much you can do.

I plan to put a bag over my head but other than that, idk, not sure if there's anything else I can do.

I didn't know this. Thank you for the information

Same here. I saw an older post also talking about a mouth guard and wearing long clothes so less of your body is visible.

I don't want to discourage your plan, but hanging have a possibility to show a gruesome image, specially if the tongue protrudes by not closing the arteries correctly. I said this because in one moment of my life I crave gore websites to look up of hanged people to convince me to not to do it - yes, I know it sounds a weird statement -, and I got a tremendous shocking and have the opposite effect to stimulate me to do it as soon as possible. The only solution is to do it a previous letter, such as a delayed email to warn the presence of a hanged corpse and invite the authorities to turn down before giving the body to family.

Arrange to be found by somebody other then your family.

i think peeing yourself after hanging is common. so do that beforehand to avoid more mess.
And my plan is to send a scheduled email to the police that goes out a few hours after. Gmail has this as feature. This way im only dead for a few hours until found.

Do your best to evacuate bowels and bladder beforehand. A hood is kind of scary for the face. I have dark swimming goggles I might use. They'll see my face but the shock of eyes won't be there.

Putting a note on a closed door would be ideal, of course.

So I've read what may happen with the tongue. But what happens with the eyes, if I may ask?

Idk, I just imagine you wouldn't want to see em. Maybe they'd be open, maybe not I guess

Oh okay thanks for answering. I thought it would be similar to the protruted tongue .

This is very helpful thank you!

I've seen videos where people bleed from their eyes, but it can also just be unsettling if someone is found with their eyes open in panic.
