"But, you're saying, NOT consistent with head trauma. It's how you are EXCLUDING that as a possibility that I'm not getting. I googled it, too, and found references to the causes of petechial hemorrhaging. I was surprised to find that it is NOT solely related to strangulation."

Correct. From what I have been able to find, head trauma alone (without asphyxiation) would not result in the characteristic changes in the lungs and pancreas. I am aware of the difference between asphyxiation and strangulation. The former could be the result of drowning for instance, and have the aforementioned petechial hemorrhaging. Can you find a source of online autopsy reports?
