Asphyxia or Asphyxiation is a condition of deficient supply of Oxygen to the body that arises from abnormal breathing. An example of Asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which affects primarily the tissues and organs.
There are non-specific physical signs used to attribute death to Asphyxiation. These include visceral congestion via dilation of the venous blood vessels and blood stasis, petechiae, cyanosis and fluidity of the blood.
