Hammock death was due to strangulation

And in a follow up to another recent death, a post-mortem examination has concluded that a twelve year old boy, who lost his life on Tuesday in a freak accident in a hammock, died of asphyxia due to strangulation. Albin Alvarez of Valley of Peace was alone when he died, but it appears that while playing at home in a hammock, he became entangled in its strings and was accidentally choked to death when he fell out.
