SUPPOSED CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE
Matthew 27 states he hung himself
Acts 1 18 gives detail
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. (Acts 1:18 KJV)
Falling headlong which is from the word prenes which in greek means to fall
Burst asunder greek: lascho
Which means to crack from a fall
And his bowels gushed out
So in Matthew it says he hung himself and in acts it describes it, you might know that when you hang yourself your neck cracks and all your waste gushes out exactly as explained

What Happens to the Body When You Hang Yourself | Reference.com Answers
When a person hangs themselves as a method of suicide, several things will happen to the body. The weight of the body, along with the pull of gravity, will break the neck or crush the esophagus, or both. When the esophageal tube is crushed, the flow of air will cease to circulate throughout the brain and body. With no oxygen circulating, the brain cells will immediately begin to die off and function. With the rest of the body being deprived of the brain "telling' it what to do, the organs will begin to shut down. This process can be almost immediate or can take several hours, depending on the amount of pressure on the esophagus or larynx.If a small amount of oxygen is still able to pass through the tube, minimal amounts of oxygen will still continue to circulate. Although it is likely not enough oxygen to maintain a level of consciousness, it may be enough to postpone death of the organs. The brain, being the neediest of oxygen, will suffer the most damage in a short amount of time, and if death does not occur (the heart still continues to pump even small increments of air, keeping other vitals present), the likelihood of severe brain damage is almost guaranteed. Once the brain tissue has been depleted of oxygen, it cannot be regenerated or replaced, thus rendering the person what is known as " brain dead", or in a permanently vegetative state, unable to function in any way. There is no conscious effort on the part of the individual at this point.Eventually, the organs begin to shut down, and eventually, they will cease functioning altogether. As each system shuts down, the body relaxes into a limp state, and usually, after a brief moment, the bladder and bowels will simultaneously evacuate, and sometimes a final rush of air will be expelled from the lungs.
