Pendent, hanging

Pendant or pendulous, which are more usual.


Hanging, the way the flower sprays of the wisteria do.


A form of death due to suspension of the body from the neck either suddenly, which damages the spinal column and cord, or in such a way as to constrict the air passages and the blood vessels to the brain. Apart from judicial hanging, and in the absence of any signs of a struggle, hanging is usually due to suicide. The resuscitation of people found hanging is similar to that for drowning.
