Way back in 1929, the accidental death of famous dancer Isadora Duncan gained a high profile. Even to this day, there are reports of accidental strangulation, though rarely. And we refer these to as Isadora Duncan syndrome. We report such a case of accidental strangulation in which the orna (dupatta) of the pillion rider got entangled into the rear wheel of a motorcycle and constricted her neck. We also intend to increase the awareness among the Indian population about the caution and care while wearing traditional clothes and drapes and the safety measures required in motorcycles/rickshaws to prevent such incidents.
