In these pictures, the execution by hanging has already been completed. The noose knot is located at the back.
The loop and its effect on the neck are very clearly visible. Maybe the location of the node at the back is more humane. (Hanging with a broken neck is not considered.)
Here is an extract from the special literature.
The posterior location of the knot is considered to be such a localization of the loop, when its front part presses on the neck above the thyroid cartilage, the lateral parts of the loop go around the angles of the lower jaw and mastoid processes, rising to the external occipital tubercle at an angle, forming a protracted knot.
The sequence of action of the loop on the neck with this arrangement of the knot.
With the vertical position of the woman and the localization of the node behind the loop, usually slipping up to the hyoid bone, squeezes the neck between the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage, the larynx and the hyoid bone. Its large horns are pressed against the spine, moving the root of the tongue back and up, thereby pressing it against the back of the pharynx and soft palate, completely closing the airway, and completely stopping air from entering the lungs from the nose or mouth.
The noose was tightened tightly around the entire neck and strangled the woman.
But from the pictures it is clear that the main effect of the noose on the woman's neck was precisely under the chin.
Perhaps the loop chokes faster woman if the knot is located at the back.
