Effects immediately following a hanging
Okay, kind of a morbid question here, and probably a stupid one as well.
In the script I am writing I have a grown man of 50 who is hanged using a belt, but released when he is unconcious but not dead. He is found maybe five or six hours later. (By NHS paramedics, if that is relevant).
Is it concievable that the human body would still be quite weak and/or injured following such treatment within this timeframe, or do the effects of hanging actually wear of quickly once a person can breath again?
I'm guessing that it is the former, but I have a nagging doubt that it might be the latter. I don't know enough about biology and human medical science to decide and understandably it is not something I want to experiment with *LOL*
