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 />
