Abstract
Fracture of hyoid and laryngohyoid complex may result from violence like strangulation, hanging, accidents, therapeutic interventions or postmortem processing. Inward compression fracture of hyoid bone usually indicates strangulation, and unexpected finding of hyoid fracture may cast suspicion of throttling or manual strangulation and may misguide the investigation. Here, we report a case of a rare, occurring inward compression fracture of hyoid bone identified in the autopsy examination of a 41-year-old decedent male who committed suicide by complete hanging.
