  • Title: A throttled hemophilic who died due to choking.
    Author: Wankhede AG.
    Journal: Forensic Sci Int; 2007 Aug 24; 171(1):e21-3. PubMed ID: 17630241.
    Abstract:
    It is the first reported case, in which death occurred due to asphyxia by choking in a victim of throttling. When an alcoholic hemophilic patient was throttled, he became unconscious. On regaining consciousness he died after approximately 16 h due to sub-mucosal collection of extravasated blood which blocked his upper respiratory tract. This paper stresses this unique danger of trauma to neck in hemophilic patients.
