    (just in case, I didn’t read much past the statement in my first comment) I interpreted that sentence as an in-the-moment situation, leaving judgement and biases out. If someone dies from breath play with unwritten/unrecorded consent there’s (typically) one other person present and no recordings, so it’s their word against the defense.

    There’s plenty of times where someone has been choked during sexual interaction, didn’t give consent, and never speaks of it again. Some cases (unfortunately) don’t stop there.

      You can’t consent to being killed, of course

          Not in common law countries at least (except for where they have medical suicide exceptions)

          If you want to be a pedant about it, that’s typically considered “assisted suicide” or “do not resuscitate”, rather than “killing” which is a bit different.
