Unfortunately I have a bit of knowledge with this. Death by self hanging (suicide) usually causes the person to die by asphyxiation, though a small bone in the neck does break. The 3 I have the unfortunate first hand experience with, none had broken necks. One was found and put on life support, but only lived long enough for the family to donate their organs.
