That is correct, but to be more accurate people can be 'hung out to dry' or they can be 'hung by their arms and beaten' as well.
It is given that we use Hanged as the past participle of To Hang when meaning 'To be put to death by hanging'.
Hung is the past participle for all other uses of To Hang - e.g. We hung the picture in the hall. / They hung the curtains themselves. / She hung the rabbit in the tree.

Is it found hanged in her garage or found hung in her garage?

She hanged herself or they hung her. Thats the difference.

False. Hanged is always used with execution.

You re not looking at the right thing in that sentence. And its.. was hanged. Or is being hanged. Or hung. But each to their own. X

Point of order here ... the correct phrase is "But to each his/her own" ... "each" is not plural, so you shouldn't use "their".

I don't believe it was being used as plural, but to encompass both genders

Doesn't matter.

No, yu can say someone was hung from a hook etc it's just execution. Why dispute this when the dude wanted the didactic answer
