The language is designed to cover a wide range of circumstances. Strangulation might imply using hands or a rope but not a plastic bag over the head.

I'm sure there's a reason for that wording. It's like calling a cow a "female bovine" instead of a "cow." "Cow" applies to many female mammals.
Strangling is different from covering the mouth and nose or putting a plastic bag over someone's head. They all have the same effect, though - obstructing breathing.

It's like calling the homeless the "Unhoused"
