Is hanging a form of suspension trauma?

0

No. Hanging primarily causes death by asphyxiation (the aiway is closed and the victim cannot breathe). After death the blood will pool in the legs and cause a classic patten of lividity, but the reason for the death is not due to any redistribution of blood – the asphyxiation happens too quickly.
