Strangled with phone cord
A person's neck is tightly wrapped with a coiled black telephone cord, causing visible strain and discomfort. The cord is twisted multiple times around the neck, tightly constricting the throat. The person's face is turning a mild shade of blue due to lack of oxygen, their eyes bulging in fear and desperation. On the floor, there's a disconnected vintage rotary dial phone, its handset lying a few feet away.
