    the whole ethical discussion aside, is it even possible for someone to choke under their own body weight, or die if they lay on their stomach, if they aren’t terminally obese or something like that?

    legitimately curious, as people are throwing this around like it was normal… is this an American thing?

      Yes. Fortunately, the human body has a lot of reflexive defenses against it, so the only way it could happen is if you were forced into the situation against all struggles.
