I don't think you die when your hyoid bone is broken. I think that if you're dead, a broken hyoid is strongly indicative of strangelation. So, if you're dead and if you have a broken hyoid, you were probably strangled. The hyoid breaking just occurs, but I think that it's suffocation from lack of air that will kill you...not the hyoid bone itself.
