He went out after only one minute?

Between the restriction of air and the restriction of the blood flow to the brain, it only takes a minute. If he'd broken his neck (not easily done from a closet hook) it would have been death.

Yes. I had a friend who had taken a group of disabled people on an elevator. One member of the group, a young woman with epilepsy, failed to get off the elevator before the doors shut.
The elevator went up one floor and then came down. But during those few moments the young woman had a seizure, fell, caught her helmet on the hand rail and strangled on the strap of her helmet.
Luckily my friend had just finished his CPR training. He was able to keep the woman alive until the paramedics arrived.

Doubt it was a minute. People perception of time is usally wrong.
