Could you give me one example anywhere in the world of s child dying in minutes from a head injury in a domestic accident...the effects of a subdural haematoma take hours
Give me one example of a very young child being abducted from a holiday apartment by a stranger!
With regards to head injury and airway obstruction:
https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000067.htmCauses
The airway can become narrowed or blocked due to many causes, including:
Allergic reactions in which the trachea or throat swell closed, including allergic reactions to a bee sting, peanuts, antibiotics (such as penicillin), and blood pressure medicines (such as ACE inhibitors)
Chemical burns and reactions
Epiglottitis (infection of the structure separating the trachea from the esophagus)
Fire or burns from breathing in smoke
Foreign bodies, such as peanuts and other breathed-in foods, pieces of a balloon, buttons, coins, and small toys
Infections of the upper airway area
Injury to the upper airway area
Peritonsillar abscess (collection of infected material near the tonsils)
Poisoning from certain substances, such as strychnine
Retropharyngeal abscess (collection of infected material in the back of the airway)
Severe asthma attack
Throat cancer
Tracheomalacia (weakness of the cartilage that supports the trachea)
Vocal cord problems
Passing out or being unconscious Plenty more reading for you on this subject:

Upper Airway Obstruction in the Unconscious PatientP SAFAR, L A ESCARRAGA, F CHANG
" Roentgenograms demonstrated that
the tongue is pushed against the posterior pharyngeal wall when the neck is flexed and the mandible is not held forward. The incidence and degree of obstruction was similar in the prone and supine positions,"

"Patients who need resuscitation often have airway obstruction,
usually secondary to loss of consciousness "
I could go on....
Falling by the way is the most common cause of accidental death in the home. Far more common than abduction by strangers!
