Accidental strangulation in a cycle rickshaw

N K Aggarwal et al. Med Sci Law. 1998 Jul.

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.
