Floyd, a 46-year-old black man with an extensive criminal history, died while being arrested by police in Minneapolis after allegedly using counterfeit money. Shocking video recorded at the scene showed Officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee on Floyd’s neck while he repeatedly stated that he couldn’t breathe… Floyd became unresponsive and died. The Hennepin County medical examiner found that he died as a result of the ‘combined effects of… being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system.’ There was no evidence found of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation in the county’s autopsy. It was later revealed that Floyd’s blood contained a fatal level of fentanyl. (en) |
