Strangle

v. choke to death, throttle by compressing the windpipe and preventing the intake of air, asphyxiate; stifle, suppress

Strangulation redirects here. For strangulation in medicine, see Strangulating. For the options strategy, see Strangle (options). Strangling is compression of the neck that leads to unconsciousness or death by causing an increasingly hypoxic state in the brain. Fatal strangling typically occurs in cases of violence, accidents, and as the mechanism of suicide in hangings. Strangling does not have to be fatal; limited or interrupted strangling is practiced in erotic asphyxia, in the choking game, and is an important technique and in many combat sports and self-defense systems (see Chokehold for further reading).
