Which of the following is a classic, tell-tale sign of death by asphyxia?
Answer Small red or purple splotches
Asphyxiation is the term given to a death that occurred by blocking the airway and preventing someone from breathing. In the event of death by suffocation, one common sign to look for is small red or purple splotches, also known as "petechial hemorrhages," on the eyes, face, neck, and lungs.
