A case where death was caused by self strangulation. The initial picture is vaguely suggestive of the arm being in the air, however this is dispelled in the latter picture and by other scene photos. Although there are extremely unusual aspects to this case, it was deemed to be a suicide due to the lack of a struggle at the scene in a locked apartment and with the background of amphetamine usage.
