passive

[FW]

Are these sentences both correct:
1-He was killed by being strangled.
2-He was killed by strangulation.

 

[Tdol]

They're OK, but 'he was strangled (to death)' sounds better to me. ;-)

 

[dduck]

They're OK, but 'he was strangled (to death)' sounds better to me. ;-)

Sounds terrible to me

Since strangle means choke to death the phrase "strangle to death" is a redundancy.
