1. A non-wearable monitoring system for non-intrusively monitoring activity of a human in a scene including a floor, comprising:
a plurality of remote ranging emitters which are configured to emit ranging energy towards the scene from at least one first direction and from at least one second direction, different from the first direction,
wherein the plurality of remote ranging emitters is arranged to obtain, based on the emitted ranging energy, reflections, from the human,
a plurality of sensors which are configured to receive the reflections reflected from the human and to convert the reflections into electronic signals to generate reflection-based data;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory configured to store data and software code portions executable by the at least one processor for:
determining, based on the reflection-based data, whether both feet are simultaneously above the floor to detect attempts of committing suicide by the human through hanging.
