Fucked up

I once wrote a program to display random images from the internet. Absolutely captivating, since you never knew what was going to pop up next. Surprisingly little porn, by the way.
Eventually I stopped using it, though, because of some of the fucked-up shit that popped up. Medical images, crime scenes, blood, gore and all manner of human depravity.
This one I've re-created, from a memory which is unfortunately burned into my brain. It was a photo, judging from the clothes and hairstyles probably taken in the late 1920s or early 1930s, showing what appears to be a suicide. The guy had hanged himself, with the added twist that he'd used a bound-up woman (presumably his wife or partner) as the counterweight. So that she had to watch him die, knowing that it was her weight that killed him...
I'd love someone to tell me that this was a scene from a film, rather than a real crime-scene photo.
Anyone?

In the circumstances
I'd be more pissed off about being tied up rather than any counterweight/guilt issue.
Very inventive though.
On the subject of "burned into my brain", I found an Imagine episode on the war photographer Don McCullin on my PVR the other day. There's some images in that I wish I'd never seen.

Saw that myself. Tanks really are quite heavy, it would appear.
