title: [Cases of hanging with bound limbs--suicide, homicide or accident].
abstract: In the paper 6 cases of suicidal hanging and 1 case of accidental hanging were presented; in each case limbs of the victim were bound. These hangings always cause a suspicion of homicide, therefore the forensic specialist should pay particular attention to them, especially during the crime scene examination, they should also be carefully investigated by police and the public prosecutor's office.
