explain this suicide scene
a man has hung himself in a room with nothing in it except for a piece of rope (used to hang himself) a high window (near the ceiling) and a waterfaucet
a detective is dropped into a room from window
there is NOTHING in the room except for a dead man, suspended from a rafter on a ceiling that is 30 ft (somewhere in the neighborhood of a 9-10 mceiling) by a rope around his neck which is only 6 ft (2m) long
there is a regular garden faucet in the corner.
how did the dead man do it?

More importantly, how did the dead man drain the place after he died?

Originally posted by AThousandYoungWhat string? He didn't say the dead man had a string, only a rope, and that only a couple meters long, not long enough to reach the faucet if the room was full of water.
He floated himself to the top, then used a string to turn off the faucet. The water ran out leaving him hanging.
