I was told that he'd hanged himself.

我听说他是自己上吊的
Yes.

是的
That's not hanging, that's strangling.

这不是吊死是被勒死的
There's a world of difference between the two, isn't there?

这两个词完全不同对吧
You hang yourself, there's no going back.

你上吊的时候是没有退路的
No matter how unbearable it gets, there's no going back.

不管多么痛苦你也没办法了
But strangling...

但是勒死的话
You've got to be pretty determined to strangle yourself to death.

你要非常有决心才能勒死自己
This must be some shit-hole to make him strangle himself to death.

一定有什么原因逼他勒死了自己
- Yeah? - Yeah.

-对吧 -对的
You said that you checked on him.

你说你检查过他的状况
Yeah.

是的
