ABSTRACT
Accidental hanging in infancy and early childhood is not common and the autopsy findings have not been well-known. We experienced five cases of accidental hanging in children in a variety of situations. All cases were concluded as accidental hanging after a comprehensive examination based on the death scene investigation, autopsy findings, and investigation of their background and past history. Two cases happened at slides in a playground and in a kindergarten, the other cases related with by various kinds of cords in their house. As it is not always possible to predict every dangerous circumstance, these cases will be helpful to prevent the cases of accidental hanging.
