[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 341450, member: 84"] Asphyxiation. Just sayin'. Lack of oxygen causes a person to turn blue......Well, ok, blue enough you're going to notice it from a distance anyway. I've seen 2 heart attacks, maybe only spotted blueish tinge around the lips, eyes.......maybe nail beds. But no, not completely blue. Been with many patients when they passed. Cleaned up many a corpse for family members to view right after death before they transport to the funeral home. Heck, taken many a dead body to morgue for that matter. Never saw more than that blueish tinge I mentioned before and many times not that, heck most times not that. The only time I have ever seen someone completely blue is from asphyxiation. Choking isn't the only cause either. I don't understand the whole gawk at the scene of an accident/trauma thing myself. I might stop (ok so there is no might about that) to see if there is something I can do to assist........but if there isn't, I'm not likely to hang around. First not really my business. Second, heck you just get in the way. And my kids most certainly would not be watching such a scene! Wow. Poor woman. :( [/QUOTE]
