Q1 · Hanging
NEET PGMediumExplanation
In hanging the ligature mark is oblique, incomplete and situated high in the neck above the thyroid cartilage, directed towards the knot. In ligature strangulation the mark is horizontal, continuous and lower.
Q2 · Ligature Strangulation
MediumExplanation
Ligature strangulation produces a horizontal, continuous mark low in the neck, at or below the thyroid, and is often homicidal. Hanging gives an oblique, incomplete, high mark and may show saliva dribbling in the direction of gravity.
Q3 · Throttling
MediumExplanation
Throttling leaves fingertip oval bruises and crescentic fingernail abrasions on the neck, often with fracture of the hyoid bone or thyroid cartilage. It is nearly always homicidal.
Q4 · Drowning
HardExplanation
Fine, tenacious white froth at the mouth and nostrils, from mixing of water, air and mucus during respiration, indicates antemortem drowning. The diatom test and other findings provide supporting evidence.
Q5 · Tardieu Spots
MediumExplanation
Tardieu spots are pinpoint petechial haemorrhages, classically under the pleura and epicardium, resulting from raised venous pressure and hypoxic capillary damage in asphyxia. They also appear in the conjunctivae.
Q6 · Cafe Coronary
HardExplanation
A cafe coronary is sudden death from choking on a food bolus impacted in the laryngopharynx, often mistaken for a heart attack. It is an accidental mechanical asphyxial death.
Asphyxia sits within Forensic Medicine, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 6 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 1 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Asphyxia marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Forensic Medicine examiners keep returning to.
