Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County medical examiner, took the stand at the murder trial of former Officer Derek Chauvin for pressing his knee on or close to Floyd’s neck. Baker concluded last year that Floyd died from cardiopulmonary arrest — that is, his heart stopped.
The chief county medical examiner who ruled George Floyd’s death a homicide testified Friday that Floyd’s heart gave out due to heart disease, hypertension, drugs, and stress. He also said that the stress was caused by the way the police held him down.
When Baker was asked how police “subdual, restraint and neck compression” led to Floyd’s death, he said that Floyd had severe underlying heart disease and an enlarged heart that needed more oxygen than normal to function, as well as narrowing of two heart arteries.
Baker said being involved in a scuffle raises adrenaline, which asks the heart to beat even faster and supply more oxygen.
“And in my opinion, the law enforcement subdual, restraint and the neck compression was just more than Mr. Floyd could take by virtue of that, those heart conditions,” the medical examiner said.

He also stated that the knee of office Chauvin appeared to be on Floyd’s back and it did not look like knee occluded carotid artery. And if it did it would not matter, he had another one.

He also confirmed his drug overdose:
Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson has argued that the now-fired white officer did what he was trained to do and was not responsible for Floyd’s death. Floyd had high blood pressure and heart disease, and an autopsy found fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system.
How dare the police stress him out. Couldn’t they have let him carry on with his day, all drugged up behind the wheel of a car?

I can guarantee those white socialists and blacks on the jury will think as you posted in sarcasm above. “well so he had those things wrong but if not for being held down he never would have died that specific day”
pretty sure dmx died from the vaccine, not drugs.
you’re correct some people here like to post wishful thinking instead of reality OR they’re trolls, OR they watch CNN?
Don’t think this trial has much to do with testimony or evidence.

“...that is, his heart stopped.”
That’s quite unusual in the history of humanity, a person dying when their heart stopped.
Bingo!
“They’ll riot either way.”
They have already been shopping and picked out what they are going to get from which storeS once the trial is over... or maybe sooner.
ME still confirmed on re-direct that Floyd died of the direct cause of police neck compression with contributing conditions which were not direct causes.
I am pro-Chauvin btw.
YeH, that’s exactly what the Jackals are asking for. Foreknowledge of a person’s heLth prior to arrest.
And a 3x lethal dose of fentanyl, advanced arteriosclerosis, an enlarged heart, pulmonary edema and - wait for it - COVID.
As AceOfSpades pointed on his blog this after, George Floyd is the first COVID patient in the country who authorities are certain didn’t die of COVID. Go figure.
What I understood from cross exam was that he conducted the report the day after Floyd’s death and had not seen the video of the arrest. At that time he said drugs, heart etc killed him. Somehow between then and now and numerous meetings plus seeing the video , he has hedged on that and changed his opinion.
Well they said he overdosed, and he has a history of drug abuse
If I was a store owner in that City, and thank God I am not, I’d be contracting to have an Abrams for the front door and be trying to get my hands on some flechette rounds.
If George Floyd hadn’t ingested lethal doses of opioids, he might still be alive.
If George Floyd hadn’t passed a counterfeit bill, he might still be alive.
If George Floyd hadn’t got behind the wheel of a car on a public street while HIGH AS AN EFFING KITE (something people don’t talk about for some reason), he might still be alive.
If George Floyd wouldn’t have continued to resist arrest, he might still be alive.
If George Floyd had just sat upright in the backseat of the squad car like the police BEGGED him to do repeatedly, he might still be alive.
But, it’s all Derek Chauvin’s fault the prosecution claims. This is such a 21st century case: People aren’t responsible for their own actions, ever. It’s always the government’s problem to fix.
What I am saying is Floyd’s body showed zero evidence of asphyxia. Well being dead maybe. Never heardof a doctor relying solely on video to attribute cause of death.
WHUPS!
Get ready for burnlootmurder to do its thing soon.
DONT CARE
GIVE US BARABBAS
No one relied solely on any video.
