  1. feet on the ground is no proof - did the guardian look into partial suspension hanging?

    Partial suspension hanging is actually quite common, especially in institutional settings:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging

    "by means of partial suspension or partial weight-bearing on the ligature. This method has been most often used in prisons or other institutions, where full suspension support is difficult to devise."
