Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's detailed post-mortem report which said he died by "asphyxia due to hanging (unnatural)" also noted that "pressure abrasion (ligature mark) present around the neck at the level of thyroid-cartilage, passes obliquely upward, backward towards mastoid process on both sides".
