Signs of suffocation?

If she were strangled, it was to unconsciousness and not death.

How many times do I have to correct this in the Stride threads? Medicinally it doesn't make sense that she would have held unto the cachous if she became unconscious BEFORE her throat was cut. In that case her hands would have relaxed and she would have dropped the cachous. The fact that she held on to the cachous points to death convulsions when she asphyxiated due to her jugular having been cut. It's most plausible that she was incapacitated through a stranglehold, not strangled, before her throat was attacked. Obviously it all went real quick, in one fluent movement.

No overt signs of strangulation, although that doesn't mean she wasn't strangled. If she were strangled, it was to unconsciousness and not death.

signs

Hello Morgana. Do you mean any of the five? Are you including signs of strangulation?

Polly and Annie were clearly strangled. The signs were unmistakable.

The other three did not have overt signs of strangulation; but, as is so often pointed out on the boards. one may possibly be strangled without such signs.

Cheers.
