I've been thinking about the chair detail for a bit. Do we have any information on what type of chair it is?
The reason why I'm asking is because I remember a case of strangulation that was achieved by using a chair. The killer was a small woman, and using a large type of chair (I think it might of been a lazyboy) and she was able to kill a man that was easily twice as big as her with a rope. If you go from behind and wrap the cord around the headrest, it's really hard to fight back and get out of. If the headrest blocks the person doing it, it makes self defense pretty much impossible. I remember another case as well using this method, but the killer got impatient and ended up getting a weapon. You could probably find many instances of this.
The drawing you did of #3 was exactly how the woman killed her husband from behind. If the chair was smaller, it might not work like how it was described in that case, though. It's just really interesting because of Emily constantly claiming that she couldn't do it because of the size difference. That woman killed her much larger and stronger husband very easily when a chair was involved. As long as you have the energy to hold it in place for ~7 minutes it's apparently a fool proof method no matter how strong the victim is, according to the documentary I watched. Wish I remembered what the case was.
Plus I don't see how a chair would even have helped a suicide like that one described, considering it wasn't even done from a height and the woman could have stood up at any time. Chairs aren't needed for that. You only use them when you need to jump, and no jumping was really involved. Plus no broken neck, which is the whole point of jumping in the first place.
