Abstract

A 44 year old male alcoholic was throttled by his wife. The visible white furrow after strangulation was massaged with unguentum; afterwards, the corpse was transported with a scooter by the sons of the victim into a lake. Here, the man was found 24 hours later without any external signs of strangulation. Experimentally produced strangulation furrows (at lower legs of human deceased and at neck of shaved and deeply narcotized guinea-pigs) disappeared when exposed to water or treated with ointments.
