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.
3 ft from top bunk to floor. He was found on his knees per Dr. Baden.Not like he was dangling from a ceiling fan.
