Next, private autopsy by-————— Is it CV-19 related in any way? Short of a conviction, well even then it may not be enough.
CV-19 can be listed as the cause of death even if not tested for it - if the deceased had shown certain symptoms of it that contributed to death. Consistent with this, the actions (and inactions) of the PO in the Floyd case can be ascribed as the immediate cause of death despite underlying health conditions being part of it.
Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause? The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID- 19 being the underlying cause more often than not... COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.
