A "headlock" would generally be considered a standing guillotine.

this is a reporter. it could be anything but they call it a "headlock" because most wouldn't know what a standing guillotine is but a "headlock" nearly everyone knows and can picture.

while true you are talking about a wrestler.

Lol i started wrestling at 6 had to stop at around 25. I had to hear that joke far to much.
Yeah, even still 60 seconds is a long ass time to hold that tight. Doubtful he held it more than 10 seconds after the guy went limp anyways.

Were you a club guy after H.S. or on your college wrestling team? Just curious, because it is always cool to hear about guys that stick with it even when it does not help pay for their education. And did you do any submission grappling? You guys seem to make the transition really well. Got a couple of long time wrestlers in our gym, crazy good scrambles.

Also there are plenty of other factors to consider.

First off, the perp was most likely psyching himself to do the deed as most do. Which means pumping his adrenaline, rapid breathing, and getting ready to make the grab. He also was doing physical exertion to make the grab, try to run, and then turn around to apply a "headlock" on one of the guys that caught him running with the phone.

If the perp had any sort of anemia problem, that all was building up and exacerbating from the excursions thus far made by the perp. Then to compound it with a "headlock" that was some form of subduing choke hold maneuver would have been more than the perp's system was capable of taking. The perp was probably hyper ventilating as well to try to gain air which was causing more oxygen to be wasted. Add in the colder and rarefied air being used at this time of year and it all adds up to hypoxia.

Which means the wrestler didn't have to have crushed the windpipe or hold for "too long" if the perp wasn't in shape, had anemia problems, and was susceptible to hypoxia. He would just apply the standard submission move and the guy would pass-out and die shortly after as their body wouldn't be able to recover once the oxygen level started to drop too far off in his system for him to recover.
