Call BS on all these hangings. For those unaware hanging oneself to death is one of the most difficult ways to committ suicide. It is not merely tying an object around the neck it takes certain angles I won't get into. It also takes certain types of material depending on weight of the victim and proof of death during autopsy is not difficult. The body stretches significantly.

To think this is happening repeatedly and with an elastic band seems unrealistic.

doing it with a hotel door for the 6'2 cornell seems to further increase the difficulty. seems it would take either a lot of trial and error or about an hour reading about it and watching how to videos

Exactly if the height of the victim is taller than the object near impossible in any circumstance. An elastic band impossible. The weight of a body touching the floor would balance out. Any coroner knows this.

yup. even if the the door was taller it wouldn't be by much
