strangulation
Can people die hours after being strangled? Like if a person has been strangled and passes out or something but is still said to be alive.. can they still die hours later in the hospital. If so, why?? chemical asphyxiation?

I suppose a person could die in that situation, but it wouldn't chemical asphyxiation. Chemical asphyxiation happens when a person breaths in a chemical like hydrogen sulfide or and carbon monoxide. These chemicals bind with our blood like oxygen does, but they are not oxygen. Cells die and muscles cease to operate. If there is no chemical like that introduced to the blood stream then it's not chemical asphyxiation.
If a person dies hours after being strangled, it seems most likely that the assault caused other damage that wasn't noticed, or couldn't be fixed.
