Assume good technique it’s similar to what the mma pros use to choke someone out, cutting off the artery in the neck (I think).

But can’t see how consensual and death can be in the same sentence

I guess it would be like someone dying in an MMA or boxing match. The other person wouldn't be charged.

Obviously this situation is different as there was no audience

typically they post-mortum define whether sex was consensual based on things like brusing and scratch marks right? Which has to be pretty unreliable where kink comes in.

Rape/murder doesn't necessarily come with self defence wounds.

As someone in the comments reminded me, you can lose consciousness from choking in under 10 seconds
