Interesting if true. Hemoraging to that muscle group is uncommon and difficult to do. We are not talking about simple bruising (vascular sub contusion). It takes a violent shock or force to that muscle and it’s not something you do to yourself whilst hanging unless you manage to very forcefully thrash your shoulder into something blunt and hard
Might that happen with a hanging?

You mean self hanging?
Not impossible. Extreme tension and tearing (muscle pull) trying to free yourself, particularly when contorted, seems more likely to happen when it’s involuntary hanging, but it’s not hard to imagine one changes their mind after the whole thing gets real. But what I understand he had almost no room to work with. It’s not like dropping yourself into a noose. In a small cell like the one I heard described that you need to actively pull yourself against the noose.
