strangulation






Partial vesicular and interstitial emphysema adjacent to
areas of increased blood content and hemorrhages have
repeatedly been described (Puppe, 1907). According to
Schrader (1940), interstitial emphysema can be observed
especially in cases of smothering; this has also been reported
by other authors (Walcher, 1950; Mueller, 1953; Prokop,
1975; Brinkmann et al. [2]). Irregularly distributed venous
hyperemia and hemorrhages have, among many authors,
been described by von Hofmann (1903), Lochte (1905),
Maschka (1881), Böhmig (1930) and Reuter (1930, 1933).
Reuter suggested that focal hemorrhagic edema should be
typical especially of slow asphyxial deaths, which was later
corroborated by Schrader strangulation studies
