It varies depending on a person's weight and how far they drop down when they step off the platform. It ranges from instant decapitation to taking an hour or so. There are actually three ways that hanging can kill you - decapitation, a broken neck, or suffocation. Decapitation results from a very long drop.

People have recovered from hanging in which their neck is broken, and they are paralyzed for life.

Suffocation from hanging can result in convulsions, shock, and dizziness to name a few. The person may also recover and have a condition where the brain enters the spinal cord. This results in death within a few days to a few years.
