Abstract

In suicide pact, two or more victims mutually agree and execute to end their lives together by predetermined method, preferably by hanging, drowning, gunshot, or poisoning. The victims are usually spouses, lovers, or friends, and the reasons behind such steps are various. In this reported suicide pact, a married couple was found hanging in their bedroom with each end of a single chunni (a cloth worn around the neck by Indian women) tied to the ceiling fan above their bed. Their bodies were found hanging in their bedroom by their neighbours. They were facing sudden financial constraints, and could not handle the stress.

Keywords: Forensic pathology; Suicide pact; Married couple; Partial hanging; Single ligature.
