I'm looking for some help. Does anyone know what is dying from suffocation called? I've been doing some research, but can't seem to find an answer. I know that suffocation is a way of dying, but I'm curious to find out what it is specifically called. I've read that it can be caused by many different ways, such as choking, drowning, and being exposed to hazardous materials. Does anyone have any insight on this topic and what it is called? I'd really appreciate any help.

Suffocation is a form of asphyxia which occurs when the body is deprived of oxygen. It can occur either due to a lack of oxygen in the atmosphere or due to blockage of the airways. When someone dies as a result of suffocation, it is known as asphyxia. The most common cause of asphyxia is choking, where an object blocks the airway and prevents the person from breathing. Other causes include drowning, smothering, gas inhalation, or strangulation.
