ABSTRACT
Death in head-down position is rare and uncommon. The mechanism of death in such cases is rather complicated. The authors present a case of unknown man who was found dead in a wood, hanging in head-down position fixed at the branchfork of a tree by his right foot. The authors analyse the possible mechanisms of death in so-called postural asphyxia.
