From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Suf·fo·ca·tion n.  The act of suffocating, or the state of being suffocated; death caused by smothering or choking.
 Note: ☞ The term suffocation is sometimes employed synonymously with asphyxia. In the strict medico-legal sense it signifies asphyxia induced by obstruction of the respiration otherwise than by direct pressure on the neck (hanging, strangulation) or submersion (drowning).
