Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Asphyxiation, or suffocation, occurs when the body is deprived of oxygen. Asphyxia can result from drowning, asthma, choking, strangulation, seizure, drug overdose, or inhaling chemical substances. Asphyxiation can lead to loss of consciousness, brain injury, and death.
Detailed explanation-2: -To completely close off the trachea (windpipe), three times as much pressure (33 lbs.) is required. Brain death will occur in 4 to 5 minutes, if strangulation persists.
