This is written in the biographies of Sergei Esenin published in Russian. Perhaps they were translated into English. He was a farmer, his childhood had a lot of hard work (the technique was not yet, the farmers did everything by hand, there was a lot of work, so the children also had to work a lot), therefore, contrary to his favorite image of the boy-flower, he was very strong and sturdy. And like many Russian farmers of old times, he was fond of fisticuffs, this is a kind of boxing. He hanged himself a week after the successful treatment, and on his body were fresh traces of a heavy fight with several people. And the asphyxiation trail was like a body, which was stuffed into a loop without consciousness. The height of the loop was wrong, it was too high or low (I don't remember exactly). Also there are articles in French and Russian in the French newspapers of those years. It was a very hard, cruel and bloody time, the government then did a lot of crimes.
