In Act 3, one of Monika's random conversation topics has her reveal to the player that (SPOILERS) Sayori didn't actually snap her neck when she hanged herself, but instead suffocated to death due to hanging herself improperly. Act 2 has a random event that is theorized to represent Sayori's suicide in this way, with the audio sounding like someone struggling to breathe and the screen gradually fading out with veins on the sides.

Yes, very graphically. Around the 13 minute mark. Garcia can't bear to look at it and asks Rossi to say when it's over. He doesn't, but when he says "he's tender to her" it is over.
Happens twice again around 23 minutes and 38 minutes in.

There is a trap that involves the victim being waterboarded, only with blood instead. There’s no towel, it just is poured from a couple yards up so it goes up the persons nose and in their mouth. The person chokes and coughs and struggles to breathe through the entire thing. He survives, but waterboarding itself involves asphyxiation.

Most notably when minor characters get attacked by facehuggers. For a facehugger to put the alien inside them, they must choke the victim with the tail and tightly grip on the victim, supplementing breathing for the host while it does its thing.
