Thank you to our victim advocate who maintained consistent contact with our survivor and witnesses.
It’s also important for the public to be aware of the dangers of strangulation. Strangulation is when a person impedes the normal breathing or circulation of the blood of another person. This can be done by applying pressure to a person’s throat or neck, or by blocking the nose or mouth. If you know someone who has been strangled, please encourage them to go to the hospital and get a full exam. Internal injuries may occur with delayed onset of injuries. These injuries can be serious or fatal.
