We know that Judas Iscariot died by hanging himself, but why in Acts 1:18 does it say that Judas was disemboweled (fell and his stomach gushed out)?

Judas Iscariot committed suicide by hanging himself (Matthew 27:5). It is believed that the corpse later broke off from the rope and his intestines gushed out as stated in Acts 1:18.
