As the punishment has become less common, the distinction in language is less well known. With people and the noose, it's a regular verb: hang, hanged, hanged. With inanimate objects, it's an irregular verb: hang, hung, hung. That is, people are hanged, pictures are hung.

Hello =)
Hanged is uniquely reserved for execution by hanging....the rest of the time, Hung is correct.
"Hanged by the neck until dead" is the sentence pronounced on criminals.
If you wish to know if he was Hung, you would have to refer to Mrs. Hussein, or, Satan, according to Southpark.......
Namaste, and Happy New Year,

He was both hanged and hung. Both are acceptable ways of describing what happened to him.

Because hanged is grammatically correct.
I don't know if he was hung because I never looked...nor wanted to.
