Types of Strangulation Marks

Strangulation marks occur when a person is restrained by force. Strangulation marks are usually bruises, abrasions, or scratches on the neck that indicate a person has been strangled. There are several types of strangulation marks, each with its own unique characteristics.

Finger Marks

Finger marks are the most common type of strangulation marks. They occur when a person is restrained or choked with the hands of another person. Finger marks are typically circular bruises or abrasions that are caused by the pressure of the fingers or thumbs.

Rope Marks

Rope marks are another type of strangulation mark that can occur when someone is restrained with a rope. These marks are typically linear bruises or abrasions that can appear in a variety of shapes, depending on the type of rope used.

Grip Marks

Grip marks are similar to finger marks, but they are usually more severe. These marks are caused by the pressure of a person's grip on the neck. They often appear as a series of circular bruises or abrasions that can be very painful.

Clothesline Marks

Clothesline marks are a type of strangulation mark that can occur when someone is restrained with a clothesline. These marks are caused by the pressure of the clothesline on the neck and are typically linear bruises or abrasions.

Burn Marks

Burn marks are a type of strangulation mark that can occur when someone is restrained with a heated object. These marks are usually circular bruises or abrasions that can be very painful and cause permanent scarring.
