resuscitated. She stated that the man who lived with her had tried
to strangle her and then hung her. Tardieu saw her in hospital.
Respiration short and embarrassed; pains in neck and jaw. Found narrow,
circular, sinuous, horizontal, uninterrupted line around the neck below
thyroid cartilage; line everywhere equal, deep, and three to four mm.
wide; the skin excoriated and covered with thick crust. Below this were
several superficial excoriations. There were many contusions on other
parts of the body. Tardieu concluded that the mark on the neck was
from attempt to strangle; the wounds elsewhere to prevent resistance.
She had at the time pulmonary consumption. She died of this disease
aggravated by the assault.
