Injury During <strong>Strangulation</strong> Assault<br />

• External signs of strangulation are<br />

absent in over half of all victims, even<br />

when examined by skilled medical<br />

personnel alerted to the possibility of<br />

strangulation injury.<br />

• Death can occur without any external<br />

marks at all.<br />
