Spain. Homicide. Gagging is a form of asphyxia which results from forcing a gag such as rolled up cloth, paper etc. deep in to the mouth or oropharynx. As such asphyxia by gagging is rare in occurrence and usually seen in infants and children as homicidal act or in adults suffering from psychiatric disorder as suicidal form of gagging. As young ones and elder people are easily overpowered due to least resistance offered by them, the homicidal gagging is more common in this age group.
