Deleware, New Hampshire, and Washington all still have hanging as a method of execution.
I don't know about Deleware and New Hampshire but in Washington the condemned can choose between lethal injection and hanging and their choice has (or had, it's been a while) to be respected. This lead to a case of a guy choosing hanging and then eating himself to extreme obesity and then claiming they couldn't hang him because the risk of decapitation was inhumane. I don't know what happened with that.
