here is something I posted before
(This is the pharyngeal reflex, or gag reflex, acting to expel whatever you swallowed before it can enter the lungs. Sometimes the reflex is very sensitive, and even accidentally pushing your toothbrush too far can set it off! Your body very much doesn’t want you to asphyxiate; )
This is where my near-death experience could have gone either way. The laryngopharynx is the posteriormost inferior region of thepharynx, reaching from the hyoid to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage; it’s the place where the respiratory and digestive systems diverge.

Anatomy and Physiology: The Pharynx and Epiglottis
THIS is where RD was Decapitated according to the autopsy report........
below the Hyoid bone (looks like wish bone to me, under the jaw)
absence of Epiglottis but thyroid sill in tact......I think we all know where the thryoid is by feeling our throats
SO he was decapped above that........
THERE IS A GAP where the epigliottis is located in the throat, perfect location to cut or strangle someone ..........THEY KNEW WHERE to cut and they knew from military experience possibly HOW to strangle someone, this is taught in military excercises in case of capture by the enemy

THe absence of the epigliottis cartilege is the smallest are of cartilege in the neck, above this it gets close to the hyoid bone, below this is thryoid and critoid cartilege and the spinal column bones are larger, you dont wnt to cut there it appears
SO they go right where the epiglittis is and that's why its not there according to the autopsy
Now this makes me really think of Foxfire........he always said a paramilitary style operation of something to that affect in regards to this case...(due to the article above talking about military maneuvers)
IF shot or bludgeoned there would be blood in the trachea or lungs
I guess the blood interior just drains down as opposed to strangulation , there is no blood, just asphyxiation
C-5 was also transected
RD had yellow green bruising in front of neck 2" approx, left side of neck approx 3" and left upper shoulder yellow green bruising
was this the hands and cord of someone strangling him?
Going to read on bruises but the blood flow stops after death so there shouldnt be any bruising after death
unless you were strangled first? Im assuming yellow/green abrasions are teh beginning of bruises? IDK
