MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Fox 9 reports that the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s report released Monday ruled the death of George Floyd a homicide.
The updated report states that on May 25, George Floyd experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by a law enforcement officer(s). Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is now charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in connection to Floyd’s death.
Earlier Monday, the attorneys for the family of George Floyd shared the findings of their separate autopsy, which determined that Floyd died of “asphyxia from sustained pressure” on his neck and back.
The new Medical Examiner’s report also notes other significant conditions such as arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; and recent methamphetamine use.
Last week, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office released a preliminary report in which it was determined that Floyd likely died from a combination of underlying health conditions, being restrained by police, and any potential intoxicants in his system.
There was reportedly no physical evidence that he died of asphyxia of strangulation.
Knee-on-neck cop is now on suicide watch.
In before FReepers saying he deserved to die for using drugs.

The mugshot of the cop dies not look like the still photo of the cop that is kneeling on George Floyd.
Exactly, like drugs on board would make what the cop did ok.
I would like to see the toxicology reports on the officers present. Did any of them have drugs in their system?

‘I was not there and would not convict someone of murder based solely on a selective video clip.’
plenty of juries have been requested to render guilty verdicts on far less evidence...
I watched the man slowly die in a tortured ~9 minute video while in custody of and pinned down by three LEO. The man's repeated pleas that he could not breathe, his stomach hurt, and "don't kill me" were ignored. When the man was no longer moving, the LEO did not discontinue forceful restraint. When the man stopped breathing, the LEO did not provide basic medical assistance.
What selective video clip are you referring to?
Agree. Knee-on-neck cop has lost his smug face in the mug shot.

When you are given a check and told what to say, such an “autopsy” is pretty fast and easy. Probably moonlighting “climate scientists” who excel at that.
“Knee-on-neck cop is now on suicide watch.”
Take a half hour smoke break fellas.
Well, here’s the facts.
Well, here’s the facts.
” I was not there and would not convict someone of murder based solely on a selective video clip. “
LOL! We already have testimony written that he was dead when the medics arrive and still the cop kept the knee hold.
A dirty cop is a dirty cop and that’s what matters here.
Why such focus on the perp? I don’t get it. The assault on a handcuffed and unconscious prisoner under color of law is what all conservatives should be livid about. Some how I can’t help but think if this happened at a Trump rally it might be viewed differently.
He had already been arrested and was in handcuffs.
“What selective video clip are you referring to? “
The one that shows George faking no pulse.
The independent paid 2nd autopsy lit a fire under the medical examiner to promptly release the official report with cause and manner of death.
Agreed.
