Cyanosis of the head was very slight and there were no pronounced hemorrhages in the galea of the scalp. I should judge that very great compression was affected almost immediately, with compression of the arteries as well as of the vein, and that the superior laryngeal nerve was traumatized in the effect of throwing the victim into profound shock... The lungs revealed cyanosis, congestion, over aeration, and subpleural petechial hemorrhages... 1. What does the author want to convey to the readers?
