Asphyxial Injuries in a Neonate: A Case Report | Dr. Naveen Sharma
Channel: Forensic 365
Date: 2022-09-27

Petechiae occur in a wide variety of non-asphyxial states. In strangulation, there may be a partial or complete obstruction and compression of all of the principal anatomical structures in the neck, including the veins, arteries, airway and nerves. Occlusion of the neck veins is almost solely responsible for the classic signs of congestion, cyanosis and petechiae above the level of neck constriction. Not infrequently, however, in the homicidal situation, strangulation may be a result of the combination of manual and ligature compression of the neck. In the present case, the corpse of a female neonate was recovered from a water canal. The body was tied with a heavy stone and thrown in a water canal to hide the crime.
