Strangulation inhabits a category all its own in domestic violence as a marker of lethality. A kick, a punch, a slap, a bite - none of these, though terrible, portend homicide like strangulation does. And while the link between mass shooters and domestic violence is increasingly recognized in the public arena, articles and op-eds, strangulation as a specific sign of lethality in the context of domestic violence remains largely unknown.
