Second autopsy says George Floyd was asphyxiated
Minneapolis Star Tribune ^ | 6/1/2020 | Paul Walsh and Liz Navratil

... a private autopsy conducted by two doctors found he died of asphyxia, which happens which pressure is placed on certain parts of the body, limiting the flow of oxygen to the brain and shutting down organs.

Hours later, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner issued a new report saying that he died of "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression."

The medical examiner's report also listed "arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease," "fentanyl intoxication" and "recent methamphetamine use" as "other significant conditions."

So the Hennepin ME has released a revised report with toxicology reports, but doesn't exonerate the officers.

Baden disputes the findings of health conditions

Dr. Allecia Wilson, director of autopsy and forensic sciences at the University of Michigan and one of two examiners on behalf of the family, said, "The evidence is consistent with mechanical asphyxia as the cause of death and homicide as the manner of death."

Dr. Michael Baden, also working for the family, said the second autopsy shows that Floyd "had no underlying medical problem that caused or contributed to his death. ... He was in good health. The compressive pressure of the neck and back are not seen at autopsy because the pressure has been released by the time the body comes to the medical examiner's office.

Baden said the belief that someone is breathing if they can talk "is not true. I am talking and talking and talking and not breathing in front of you." Floyd repeatedly said "I can't breathe" while on the pavement.

Crump said that all the evidence to date points to Floyd having died at the scene and not later that night, when he was at HCMC.

"The medics, based on the EMT report that we have in our possession, performed pulse checks several times finding none and delivered one shock by their monitor, but George's condition did not change," he said. "They delivered him to the hospital, continued ventilation, but that last report was the patient was still pulseless."

That guy comes up with the result he’s paid to find every time. He does earn his fee.

So, what will the federal autopsy conclude? How good can the investigation/results be since the body has already been shredded once. Before the entire thing erupted. Do they take a second set of tissue and fluid to send to the lab?

What I don’t understand is how we have opposing autopsy results.

Asphyxia causes visible indicators on the body. They indicators are either there, or they are not.

We either have a corrupt state ME covering for police misdeeds, or we have a corrupt ME telling a family what it wants to hear.

This is a significant problem.

He already did. Epstein's autopsy more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide

The article also included this statement

“They also asked that Attorney General Keith Ellison, who has taken over the case, pursue a first-degree murder charge against Chauvin.

Ellison can upgrade the most serious charge to second-degree murder, but a first-degree count would have to come from a grand jury.”

He’s a clown. I have seen him on tv a few times. He is always wrong but he is pretty sure of himself.

I have no idea who to trust. Either or both could potentially have a motivation to lie.

No signs of asphyxia - he was killed by asphyxia.

How the heck do we have this!? Madness.

He will have to prove it with evidence in front of a jury.

So a heroin overdose with some meth as a kicker.
