Asphyxial Games
Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The medico legal expert encounters a wide range of violent asphyxial deaths which are contributed largely to homicidal & suicidal deaths. Although asphyxia is a recognized phenomena in auto erotism, its application in playing games for achieving thrills or for a dare is not commonly known in India. These types of games have been played for generations around the world by names like the choking game, head rush, space monkey, suffocation roulette, fainting game, flat lining. Majority of them, go unreported, reason being unawareness on part of the guardian and a non lethal outcome.
