We report two deaths which resulted from the use of neck holds by law enforcement officers. The mechanisms of death are discussed in addition to an assessment of the use of neck holds by law enforcement personnel. The hazards of neck holds are emphasized and we review those conditions where there is an increased risk for a fatal outcome when the neck hold is used.
