W76: Other accidental hanging and strangulation

The condition range grouped under "Other accidental hanging and strangulation" refer to circumstances where an individual accidentally suffocates due to constriction around the neck without intentions of self-harm or assault. These incidents could occur due to a myriad of prevalent home- or work-related scenarios such as becoming entangled in loose ropes, garments, or other materials. Affected individuals may experience severe breathing difficulty, intense pressure on the neck, and potential unconsciousness if not promptly rescued. The respiratory system is primarily affected, risking hypoxia or insufficient oxygen in the body due to constriction. Over time, the brain may get affected as it cannot function correctly without a sufficient oxygen supply. As the situation progresses towards severity, it could potentially lead to life-threatening restrictions of air flow.
