I think that’s the correct flair for this one, I’m generally aware of the difference between hanged (used to refer to the act of hanging oneself to death/execution by hanging) vs hung (everything else).

I have a more specific question, when you’re describing the body itself after the fact (I.E “It hung/hanged from that tree for three days after” ) would it then change to hung since you’re neither describing the execution nor the person, only a corpse being suspended?

Follow up to that one, if you’re describing a body being hanged post-mortem, after it had died by some other means, is it hanged or hung then?

Apologies for the morbid question and thanks for any feedback.
