AddReply(489843,"Hanging points in prisons","Kevin ","Goulburn, Australia","09/07/09","I imagine the shower nozzle must have pointed upwards ( Or the prisoners in that jail shower laying down! ) I have worked in prisons for many years and yes it is possible to hang yourself from such a low point. I can be done by laying or even sitting down using your body weight.    ");
AddReply(485939,"Yes, it\'s possible.","Avi Kane","Modiin","08/29/09","Topaz proved that it is indeed possible. Magen David Adom paramedics told Voice of Israel government radio that Topaz strangled himself with an electric kettle cord. He apparently knew which part of the neck would cause him to asphxiate.");

Not specifically FROM the shower (nozzle), recall showers can have a structure, ceiling, light fixtures, 6\' door, etc.!   Help,  anybody? ");
AddReply(483045,"Nozzle 80 cm above the floor? Are you sure you read this correctly?","Daniel Pinner","Kfar Tapuach","08/23/09","80 cm above the floor is about waist height - hardly a practical height for a shower nozzle. I suspect that this should be 180 cm (5\' 10\"), which would be high enough to shower with but not high enough for most men to hang thenselves from.\n\nSpeaking from personal experience in prison conditions in Israel (and I have more of that that I would like), a 180 cm-high shower nozzle is far more likely than 80 cm.");
AddReply(482648,"A moment of compassion....","sarah","israel","08/21/09","As a newcomer, I don\'t really know who Dudu Topaz was, and at this point, it\'s no longer relevant what he was accused of doing. \n\nBut could we all just have a moment of compassion for such a tortured soul, that he would take his life in such a fashion? \n\nBaruch dayan emet, b\'shalom.

It can\'t be more than 9\".\n\nThe standard, nearly instantaneous, drop is 1.2 to 1.8 meters, 4 to 6 FEET, not inches.  Short drop methods involve STRANGULATION, which takes TIME.\n\nAnd how the heck long did they leave a prisoner unsupervised in the shower \"for privacy\"?");

AddReply(482201,"Ahem...\"hanged\"...","MAOZ","Yerushalayim","08/20/09","To use the term \"hung\" about a guy actually carries implications (at least in American English) that I hope Mr. Gordon wasn\'t really trying to allude to.");
AddReply(482099,"Dudu Topaz","RY","Israel","08/20/09","I also wonder how a person can hang himself from a height of only 80 centimeters. Maybe he strangled himself.");
