吊死 (diào sǐ) — to hang (someone) to death (transitive); to die by hanging; to commit suicide by hanging (intransitive)
Definición
吊死 means to kill by hanging (someone else) or to die by hanging (oneself). The raw 'present offerings to the deceased' gloss is a misread of 吊 'to mourn' — the verb here is the homograph meaning 'to suspend/hang'.
