Detailed explanation-1: -Asphyxiation is when you don’t get enough oxygen in your body. Causes include allergic reactions, drowning and foreign objects blocking your airway. Symptoms include trouble breathing, loss of consciousness and inability to speak. You can prevent asphyxiation by being cautious.

Detailed explanation-2: -Severe oxygen deprivation can cause life-threatening problems including coma and seizures. After 10 minutes without oxygen, brain death occurs. Brain death means there is no brain activity. A person needs life support measures like a mechanical ventilator to help them breathe and stay alive.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are non-specific physical signs used to attribute death to asphyxia. These include visceral congestion via dilation of the venous blood vessels and blood stasis, petechiae, cyanosis and fluidity of the blood. Petechiae are tiny hemorrhages.
