George Floyd died of suffocation, loss of blood flow, private autopsy says

Contrary to a preliminary report, a private autopsy report has found that George Floyd died not just because of the knee lodged at his neck by a white ex-police officer, but also because of the other officers who helped hold him down.

This differs substantially from the findings of a private autopsy commissioned by Mr Floyd’s family and conducted by Allecia Wilson of the University of Michigan and Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner. He further called for the arrest of all other officers who played a role in Mr Floyd’s death. One of the officers, Derek Chauvin, had been charged, and his court hearing has been adjourned to June 6. The other three have been fired.

Minutes later, Mr Floyd laid motionless, his eyes shut, as he foamed from the mouth before an ambulance arrived. He was declared dead at a hospital shortly afterwards, CNN reported. Local report by CNN estimated that over 4,000 arrests, as well as dozens of injuries by protesters, police officers and journalists, and about five deaths have been recorded.

The white cops has killed the man and lied to us by another white autopsy doctor

He might have underlying medical conditions. But asphyxiation secondary to upper airway obstruction from the pressure of the dismissed officer’s knee was indeed the primary cause of death.
