Maybe, and maybe not. Don't try what the experts do until you know EXACTLY what they are doing, and know when to stop. If you help the grip long enough, you may damage the bronchial passages (wind pipe). If so, then they didn't just pass out from a lack of air, their ability to breathe was stopped, they could die, and you just killed them. If it is only to the point that their reserve in the blood has been depleted, then yes, they would recover. This is a tactic best left for true self defense where there was no other way to stop an assailant. The guy hitting on your girlfriend, however, or the guy that made fun of you, is NOT an assailant that you must protect yourself from.

If you choke someone until they go unconscious, then immediately let go, they'll be fine.
If you keep cutting off their breath after they've passed out, the following things can happen, based on how long you deprive them of oxygen:
- permanent brain damage (from mild to vegetative)
- death
A person can only survive a few minutes without oxygen flow to the brain. Brain damage from lack of oxygen to the brain sets in more quickly. Plus, when choking someone, it's possible to put pressure on the major arteries in the neck so that bloodflow is cut off to the brain, and that can result in brain damage and death even faster.
As long as you let go within a few seconds after the person goes limp, however, everything should be fine.

It would be a dangerous move. Death could definately be the outcome. If you're involved with martial arts, then your instructor will advise you properly. If your not in martial art training yourself, then DON"T ATTEMPT IT!!! (Just because you see it on television doesn't mean that you can try it it reality!)

Assuming you're just cutting off air and blood circulation, first they would become unconscious and then later die if you continue. If you apply enough pressure you could crush their windpipe and break bones. Depending on the damage, this could be fatal but unconsciousness would always come first.

It depends if you kept choking them till the died or if you let go before they were dead and the were still breathing but had only passed out so far.

No one should have a choke hold on anyone unless it was in self defense. You never know when you would be giving that person CPR to bring him or her back to life. Think about that 3seconds that could change your life forever.

Depends where you choke them, a good crotch choking would probably make me pass out but i don't think I'd die from it!

They would most certainly loose consciousness. (pass out)
If prolonged (U did not let go)
Of course they would die of asphyxiation .(lack of air!)
