[quote=Seamus Haley;732409]I was a little irritated to see that the autopsy apparently decided the cause of death was asphyxiation, since that's really not how or why constriction causes death; it's got a lot more to do with restricted blood flow and building and unbalanced blood pressure- the restriction of lung expansion is really secondary.

True, but the snake could have gotten itsself around the child's neck. I think declaring asphyxiation without an autopsy is premature- but it still could be the cause of death.
