TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - A review of 300 attempted strangulation cases Part III: injuries in fatal cases JO - Journal of emergency medicine A1 - Hawley, D. A. A1 - McClane, George E. A1 - Strack, Gael B. SP - 317 EP - 322 VL - 21 IS - 3 N2 - A review of 300 cases of alleged strangulation assault, submitted for misdemeanor prosecution by the San Diego City Attorney's Office, led to a search for medical evidence that would be useful to prosecute these cases (see Strack et al. in this issue of the Journal). The injuries identified in these non-fatal cases are similar to injuries found in fatal domestic violence strangulation assaults. This article reviews the injuries recognizable at autopsy in cases of strangulation in domestic violence victims.
