Hanging is one of the most common methods of suicide in India in which death of the individual occurs instantaneously. However, a few cases have been reported in literature in which death has occurred after a certain period or the patient has survived after prolonged resuscitative measures. Here a case of 18-year-old female is described who survived for seven days after hanging, remaining unconscious throughout in the hospital. She died due to cerebral damage caused by cerebral anoxia.
