Yes.
Understand, a person can have a blood pressure cuff put on their arm and have petechial hemorrhaging on their arm where the cuff was. Things like that.
But, JonBenet had petechial hemorrhaging on her eyelids (inside and out), on her cheek, around the ligature, and in her lungs. That means she died of strangulation. Those are telltale, classic signs of asphyxiation.

Okay, got that. In my previous posts I had noted that there were other causes of petechial hemorrhage; one of which was craniocerebral trauma. Given that fact, I wasn't convinced (and still am not) WHICH event was causing all the petechial hemorrhage. If fact, I've suggested before, it seems to actually confuse the issue considerably. It could have been a mixture of causes. So, that was why I suggested that the petechial hemorrhage does not necessarily imply strangulation as the presenting cause of death.
I think it was Ste66 who posted that, to confuse the issue more, manual strangulation, asphyxiation and strangulation by ligature all can produce different results. That's another angle worthy of inquiry.
In the end, you may be right. I'm just asking what I hope are the right questions.
Forgot to add, she also had congestion in her lungs and had changes in her pancreas consistent with death due to strangulation. She had petechial hemorrhaging on her heart also.
I have no links. I googled the subject and read maybe 100 results.
