He was choked by a tyrant


Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrant

A tyrant is a single ruler holding vast, if not absolute power through a state or in an organization. The term carries connotations of a harsh and cruel ruler who places his/her own interests or the interests of a small oligarchy over the best interests of the general population which s/he governs or controls. This mode of rule is referred to as tyranny. Many individual rulers or government officials are accused of tyranny, with the label almost always a matter of controversy.

The word derives from Latin tyrannus, from Greek τύραννος tyrannos. There may be a connection with the biblical Hebrew word seren, which means "captain of the Philistines": see Philistine language.
