Pictures hung, man hanged

In a police beat story today out of Meadville bearing the headline “Man dies in Meadville police custody,” Erie Times-News Reporter Kara Rhodes wrote: “A man in Meadville police custody died after police said he hung himself with his T-shirt.”

Stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and pictures are hung in an art gallery, but people who die of a certain type of asphyxiation are hanged by the neck until dead.

You are correct...
(see Journalism 101).

It's also in the AP Style Manual.
