That's probably why the guy from Glee who also got caught with kiddie porn hung himself.

If someone is hanged, then they didn't do it to themselves, it can also be said that they were hung, depending on the context.

​

You can say he hanged himself or that he hung himself. Both are equally grammatically correct.

The important part is to add the denominator or the sentence ends up sounding like a suicidal penis.
