Yes, manual strangulation can be with any body part (knee, for example) or any object (like a 2x4) that is held by the hands but isn’t a ligature/scarf/rope that would be wrapped around the neck, or something that would asphyxiate (like a pillow).It says “manual strangulation”-can this possibly have any meaning other than strangulation via human hands?
The important word in this report is “throttling,” which indicates hands were used directly on the neck.
