In the case of new-born children, Caspar has noticed capillary ecchymoses, resembling petechiæ, beneath the pulmonary pleura, upon the aorta, or the surface of the heart, and even upon the diaphragm, which gives the parts a spotted appearance. The mucous membrane of the larynx and trachea are more or less injected, of a cinnabar-red, either in patches or uniformly over the whole surface. A deposit of soot upon the tracheal membrane, points to suffocation in smoke. There is usually present in the trachea a greater or less amount of fluid, consisting of a mixture of air, mucus, and blood, in the form of frothy vesicles, or colorless, or bloody foam. The more gradual the suffocation has been, the greater the quantity of this fluid. It may exist also in the bronchial tubes, and can be forced out by careful pressure on the lungs. Foreign bodies of every kind may be found in the trachea. We find also as secondary results of the foregoing, hyperæmia of the abdominal and cranial organs. 3. Death from Hanging, Throttling and Strangling. In these cases, death may result from simple cerebral congestion (apoplexy), from simple congestion of the thoracic organs (cardiac or pulmonary apoplexy), from a combination of the two (apoplexy and asphyxia), or, as is very frequently the case, from neuro-paralysis (nervous apoplexy). The internal appearances will therefore vary, or, as in the last case, no lesions can be detected. The face may in some cases be livid, with protruding eyes and tongue; but in many cases the countenance is like that of any other corpse. Turgescence of the male and even of the female genitals has been noticed in some cases. The mark of the cord about the neck may be wanting, and is nearly always more or less interrupted, and presents many varieties of appearance. It maybe of a dirty, yellowish-brown color, cutting hard and leathery; or of a bright blue or dirty-reddish color, soft to cut; or it may have little or no color, and also soft to cut. Patches of excoriation are also sometimes visible, if the cord have been hard and rough. A similar mark of the cord may be produced after death. In cases of throttling, the marks of fingers may often be recognized, as round or semi-circular, or perfectly irregular patches, of a dirty, brownish-yellow color, hard to cut, and not ecchymosed. Rarely they are of a dirty-bluish color and ecchymosed. 4. Death from Drowning.
