Accidental strangulation in a cycle rickshaw
Abstract
A 50-year-old female was accidently strangulated when her chunni (a piece of cloth worn around the neck) was caught in the moving wheel of a rickshaw in which she was travelling. She was brought to the nearest hospital and died within 16 hours, remaining unconscious throughout the hospital stay. Cause of death was asphyxia as a result of constriction of the neck by ligature strangulation.
