Abstract

Death by strangulation is a violent and frequent method of homicides. Strangulation is rarely accidental due to ligature which is caused by a wide variety of objects such as cords, ropes or clothing articles (scarves). It concerns mostly accidents at work, rarely road traffic accidents and domestic ones. We report four cases of occupational and accidental strangulation causing death.
