(That's the second time recently I caused women to start having nightmares. I'm beginning to worry about me.)
Ill have to read it, because I thought earlier when you were talking about a choking game, I thought you were talking about erotic asphyxiation that some have suggested. I see after looking closer at it, its about deliberately causing the euphoric feeling associated with hypoxia. My apologies for misunderstanding earlier what you were talking about.
So, could JonBenets strangulation be related to that? I would have to say yes, that it is possible. What we are talking about is something mostly kids do for a thrill. Also, I don't think the strangulation would have to happen long enough for it to leave marks on the neck before the effects of hypoxia would occur. One more thing I have to add is that I cant imagine an adult being involved in something like this. You?

Well Otg, after having nightmares due to your Grays Anatomy pictures and the horror that was preparing for my instructors anatomy part of my A&P courses, I slept, a couple of hours.

I agree with that! He was a brilliant man. I'm going to remember that quote."That's anatomy and physiology," he said, grinning ear to ear. "The complexity of the human body is that in it's strength, are it's most vulnerable weaknesses."
Brilliant man, he gave me a headache!
Thanks for the link, Sunnie. I'll add that to my reading list. I do enjoy reading about this kind of stuff. Guess I'm kind of weird in that; but hey... that's just the way I rolls.I found this article, which gives background on the 'choking game'. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5706a1.htm
One excerpt is:
The earliest choking-game death was identified as occurring in 1995. Three or fewer deaths occurred annually during 1995--2004; however, 22 deaths occurred in 2005, 35 in 2006, and nine in 2007. Seventy-one (86.6%) of the 82 decedents were male, and the age range of decedents was 6--19 years, with a mean age of 13.3 years (standard deviation = 2.1) and a median age of 13 years. Age distribution of the 82 choking-game decedents during 1995--2007 differed from that of the 5,101 youths aged 6--19 years whose deaths were attributed to suicide by hanging/suffocation during 1999--2005§ (Figure).
Among the 70 deaths for which sufficient detail was reported, 67 (95.7%) occurred while the decedent was alone. Among the 42 deaths for which sufficient detail was reported, 39 (92.9%) parents of decedents said they were not aware of the choking game until the death of their child.
Choking-game deaths occurred in 31 states; no geographic clustering was evident. Deaths did not vary significantly by season or by day of the week. No information regarding decedent drug use, race/ethnicity, or socioeconomic status was available.
Interesting and this leads me to further believe why the scarf was placed with JonBenet. There are a lot more articles, I just found the 1995 date interesting in this one.
