How does manual strangulation result in death?
What will be an ideal response?
Manual strangulation is produced by pressure of the hand, forearm, or other limb against the neck, compressing the internal structures of the neck. The mechanism of death is occlusion of the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. Occlusion of the airway probably plays a minor role in causing death, if any at all.
