The hyoid bone (Lingual Bone) is a bone in the neck, and is the only bone in the human skeleton not articulated to any other bone. It is supported by the muscles of the neck and in turn supports the root of the tongue. It's the one who allows the lower jaw to move. Am I right?
Bones don't have origins and insertions, muscles do.
because it is the only bone not artuculated to any other bone.
As the main support structure of the body as the skeleton
It is a floating bone found at the junction of the floor of the mouth. It aids in swallowing and its major functions are the central body, the greater horn (cornua), and lesser horn (cornu).

I don't think you die when your hyoid bone is broken. I think that if you're dead, a broken hyoid is strongly indicative of strangelation. So, if you're dead and if you have a broken hyoid, you were probably strangled. The hyoid breaking just occurs, but I think that it's suffocation from lack of air that will kill you...not the hyoid bone itself.
