I'm trying to understand what a body looks like after strangulation. Can anyone help me out? I've read some articles that detail the physical signs, but I'd really like to hear from people who have seen it firsthand.

Strangulation is a type of violent asphyxiation that occurs when a person's throat or neck is compressed, preventing them from breathing. Strangulation can be lethal, and the body of a victim of strangulation may have visible signs of the attack.

Physical Signs

The most obvious physical signs of strangulation are bruises and scratches on the neck. These marks can vary in color and size, but may be particularly visible if the attack was prolonged. In some cases, there may also be bruising or swelling on the face, head, and chest.

Internal Signs

The internal signs of strangulation are less visible, but just as important. Strangulation can cause damage to the trachea, larynx, esophagus, carotid arteries, and other parts of the neck. In addition, strangulation can cause internal bleeding, leading to anemia, decreased oxygen levels, or other circulatory problems.

Long-Term Effects

The long-term effects of strangulation can be serious and even life-threatening. Strangulation can cause permanent damage to the throat and neck, as well as other organs. In some cases, victims of strangulation may experience difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking. Additionally, victims may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental health issues.
