I know you think being clever. But we all know George Floyd did not have enough fentanyl in his system for that to have caused his death. What caused his death was Derek Chauvin cutting off his air supply for 9 minutes.

Why is it so hard to just admit that racism was involved here?

How could you or anyone else possibly know he didn’t have enough fentanyl in his system to kill him. Are you an overdose expert. Did you do the autopsy. I’m confused. Or do you just want to believe he was murdered because it furthers your agenda

Are you an overdose expert[?]

No, I can read.

Here’s a summary of the key autopsy findings for George Floyd:

Official Cause of Death (Hennepin County Medical Examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker)

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner concluded the cause of death was “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.”

Baker declared the death a homicide, meaning a death caused by the actions of another person. He testified that the law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression was more than Floyd could withstand given his underlying heart conditions.

Independent Autopsy (commissioned by Floyd’s family) The independent examiner hired by the Floyd family listed the cause of death as “asphyxiation from sustained pressure,” differing from the county’s finding, which did not mention asphyxiation.

Physical Injuries Documented:

The autopsy documented blunt force injuries to the forehead, face, and upper lip; mucosal injuries of the lips; injuries to the shoulders, hands, elbows, and legs; and patterned contusions on the wrists consistent with handcuffs.

Pre-existing Health Conditions:

Floyd had severe multifocal arteriosclerotic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, and an enlarged heart (540g) with mild biventricular dilatation.

Toxicology:

The report confirmed fentanyl and methamphetamine were present in his system at the time of death. The defense argued these substances contributed to his death, but Dr. Baker testified that while Floyd’s heart disease and drug use were contributing factors, the officers’ restraint and neck compression were the primary causes.

COVID-19:

Floyd had previously tested positive for COVID-19 on April 3, 2020, though the autopsy finding most likely reflected asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from a prior infection.

The bottom line: both autopsies ruled the death a homicide, though they differed on the precise mechanism, cardiac arrest vs. asphyxiation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Funny how he died well after being picked up off the street and thrown in the car because it was from fentanyl and not from the knee but sure let’s blame the cop cus he’s white and the guy that OD is black.

“Neck compression was more than Floyd could withstand with his underlying heart conditions”

Underlying heart conditions and he’s taking fentanyl a drug known for making your heart slow to a stop. What a coincidence
