At the time it will seem to take forever, and you can get pretty tired out. Since they will be fighting for their lives, they will really really struggle, so account for flailing arms and legs, especially knees. A good four minutes, maybe up to five, and be sure because just when you think they are done, they get this last burst of energy, but then you feel the life ebbing away, and isn't that what it is all about?

LOL It takes awhile. Depends on your method. Not as fast as seen on tv.
Ok so depending on the method here are the results:
The time to death is dependant on the particular mechanism of asphyxia. In an experiment where dogs were suffocated by placing an air-tight rubber mask over the dogs' heads, it was shown that it took around 8 minutes for the dogs to go into cardiac arrest. Breathing movements continued and the animals engaged in violent struggle or had convulsions until the point of death. This can be contrasted with another experiment in dogs were suffocated by forcing them to breathe nitrogen, the dogs surviving only an average of 5 minutes. The reason is considered to be loss of oxygen into the environment when the animals were able to breathe freely. (Swann, H.G; Bruger, Marshall. The Cardiorespiratory And Biochemical Events During Rapid Anoxic Death; V. Obstructive Asphyxia. www.charlydmiller.com. URL last accessed March 2, 2006.)

I am a nurse. I don't proclaim to know the exact answer. But the last time I strangled someone, it took 4 minutes. Please do not contact the police, I have disposed of the body in a manner that no one will ever find him. ( oh, did I say, Him? I meant, it , yeah, that's the ticket. It) so anyway nevermind
