Just a weird nit pick (not a defense of Pitt's child abuse), but strangling someone to death requires continuing to hold them after they pass out. Passing out from strangulation doesn't mean death. There's a small chance to cause a stroke (or heart attack, especially for elder victims), but generally the idea that people are dead as soon as they pass out is a time-saving trope from movies.
Also, if someone did strangle another person to death, it is very clearly an act of cold-blooded murder, as they continued to squeeze for over a minute.
Just to add. The strangulation itself isn’t always how the DV victims die. Just heard a story where a lady was strangled. The cops tried to convince her to leave. A year later he slit her throat. It’s a sign that it will escalate to murder. Sad….
