Altercation Over Parking Spot Ends in Death by Testicular Asphyxiation

A shopkeeper in China was fatally injured last week after a woman with whom he was clashing clutched his testicles, and squeezed them until he blacked out.

According to local reports, the 42-year-old man, who hails from the southern city of Haikou in the small province of Hainan, was locked in a heated altercation with the 41-year-old woman over a parking spot.

The unnamed woman, who was picking up her child from elementary school, sought to leave her scooter outside the man's shop. When he refused, the two began quarreling. Soon they were joined by the woman's husband and brother, and the tough talk turned to violence.

At some point during the melee, the woman latched on to the proprietor's privates, and refused to let go until the man passed out. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The woman and her brother remain in police custody.

not a day goes by when some man isn't killed in the US by testicular asphyxiation.

This place is a nightmare. I wish I could move to china, but you know, they built that big wall to keep us out.

I would have to assume that something else happened such as him hitting his head when he passed out.

Believe me, animal behavior can be surprisingly cruel and bordering on what we would consider sociopathic. For that matter, most of our own behavior is restrained in comparison: for instance, we're pretty much the only species on the planet that balks at the notion of killing somebody else's children to make room for yours. Heck even cute, smart animals like dolphins are well known to engage in thrill-killing behaviors.

The reality, however, is that human behavior at its worst can be found in the animal kingdom every day.

I've seen altercations, but so far no murders by testicular strangulation.

Poor guy, rest in peace.
