The term "garroted" typically refers to a form of execution or murder by strangulation, often using a device called a garrote, which is a cord or wire that is tightened around a person's neck. This method of execution has been used throughout history, particularly in Spain and other parts of Europe, and involves the use of a metal collar or similar device that is used to tighten the cord around the victim's neck, causing death by asphyxiation. The term "garroted" can also be used more broadly to refer to any act of strangulation or choking.
