Only time I seem to read of blacks hanging themselves, the family says it was not suicide, and tries to blame white people.

[Duchess47]

Now that is weird. I am sorry for the horror the family has to face.

[bigbob]

Of course the unanswered question is, “what made the thump?”

[ColdOne]

Wouldn’t there have been a odor?

[50mm]

I’d hang myself too if my parents named me Dyquain.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It’s a reverse Norman Bates situation.

[nevergore]

Hey! Anyone seen Dyquain?

Oh, he’s hanging around somewhere......

Bada Bing, Bada Boom.....

The young man was looking to join the Navy. Too bad-might have turned his life around.

It must have been a bloater at some point. Missing the smell of that oozing down from an unventilated roof space is quite an achievement.
Having found several Bloaters hanging in trees over the years I can vouch for the intensity of the perfume.

[Bob434]

likely the condition of body finally broke apart and fell from the noose

[BenLurkin]

Rope broke?

[Dagnabitt]

The rope rotted and broke?

[Chickensoup]

Of course the unanswered question is, “what made the thump?”
____________-

Eventually the head and the body part company.

Thump goes the body.

[Red Badger]

Rope broke?..............

[Dagnabitt]

I think your answer is more likely than broken rope. Gruesome.

[al baby]

Well did you take into account the ambient odor of the home to start with may not have been April fresh ?

[Az Joe]

I almost don’t want you to say more.

[Inyo-Mono]

I think you’re right. The head likely broke loose from the body causing it to fall to the floor causing the thump sound.

[moose07]

Humans aren’t as rank as a Deer , but a domestic odour strong enough to mask a hanging stiff doesn’t even bear thinking about.
Excuse me, I need some air.....
