Asphyxia

According to the coroner, the cause of death was due to asphyxia, or lack of oxygen.

Cahill wrote that Thao "actively encouraged his three colleagues' dangerous prone restraint of Floyd" despite Minneapolis police training that the position could cause asphyxia.

It concluded that he died from asphyxia and drowning.

A post-mortem examination revealed that he died from asphyxia due to manual strangulation, compounded by multiple blunt traumas to the head.

Cardiac arrest can arise from numerous underlying conditions, both heart-related and not, such as drowning, trauma, asphyxia, electrical shock and drug overdose.

The positions of the human remains at the site suggested two of the three women were murdered through homicidal ligature strangulation and positional asphyxia.

Brehmer suggested Mrs Parry died as a result of 'positional asphyxia' due to her diaphragm being on the driver's seat and her head being out of the car.

But if the asphyxia doesn’t kill the migrants, the falling objects might.

Charles Onu founded Ubenwa, a company using AI to detect birth asphyxia in the sound of crying newborn babies.

Jason Varnish of Short Hills, New Jersey, died of positional asphyxia Thursday at Vail Mountain's Blue Sky Basin area, according to Eagle County Coroner Kara Bettis.

While their full report hasn’t been released, Baden and Wilson said at a news conference that they determined that Floyd died of asphyxia, caused when the police restraints cut off blood and oxygen to his brain.

With those worst hit by the virus facing an agonising death from asphyxia, palliative care specialists in France are struggling amid drug shortages to give victims the most humane end possible.

Autoerotic asphyxia – when someone restricts oxygen to their own brain for the purposes of arousal – isn’t new: there have been documented cases since the early 17th century.

It covers malicious or inappropriate infliction of physical injury, sexual abuse, mental abuse, poisoning, asphyxia, drowning, and evidence of organized dogfighting.

A medical examiner determined that the cause of death was positional asphyxia, as a result of being restrained with his wrists handcuffed behind his back.

Prussic acid poisons animals by inhibiting oxygen utilisation by the cells and is transported in the blood around the body — ultimately the animal will die from asphyxia.

The prey also may be killed by the lion enclosing the animal's mouth and nostrils in its jaws (which would also result in asphyxia).

The ultimate prognosis depends on the extent of CNS injury from asphyxia and the presence of associated problems such as pulmonary hypertension.

Those still trapped in the pens were packed so tightly that many victims died of compressive asphyxia while standing.
