abstract="Death due to strangulation is generally considered homicidal unless proved otherwise. Here a case of accidental strangulation by a faulty machine is presented and discussed where the deceased was strangled by a heated rubber belt of a rice mill machine. The ligature mark was an assortment of abrasion and dermo-epidermal burns. The term &quot;thermal ligature strangulation&quot; is proposed for such an occurrence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
