Article:

One subcategory of mechanical asphyxia is so-called 'traumatic/ crush/ compression asphyxia', which are overlapping terminologies used when the movement of the chest and/ or abdomen is compromised by an external force applied to it.

When a force is applied to the chest and/ or diaphragm of sufficient magnitude to inhibit the active phase of ventilation, ventilation can no longer occur and thus air movement into the body stops. The force applied to the chest also affects blood circulation, particularly venous return from the head and neck and from below the diaphragm.

Article:

'Burking' is an example of homicide where two forms of asphyxia are combined into a single act, usually smothering and traumatic/ compression asphyxia.

In my opinion, it's interesting as information, but not as a suicide method.
