Would he still be alive if he hadn’t resisted arrest in the first place?
Hopefully. Then the Left would have had to look for some other excuse to burn America down before election day.
It's starting to look like Antifa was just waiting for a pretext to trigger nation-wide protests and riots. If George Floyd was still alive, they would have seized on another incident.
The question is would he still be alive if Chauvin hadn't knelt on his neck for eight or nine minutes? I'm not a police officer but I would be willing to bet that on an average day there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of suspects across this country who resist arrest and they manage to make it to the police station alive and breathing. Why couldn't Chauvin accomplish the same with Floyd?
An excellent question. It looks to me like he was having a cradio event even while seated against the outside of the building where he sat handcuffed. His staggering across the street in tow is not identifiable as a cardiac event in progress since he had drugs and alcohol in his sytem. IF he was in the midst of a cardiac event he would be having trouble breathing, with tightness int he chest and momentary blackness in vision and loss of coordination at times during the event. I personally would like to see what went on in that ambulance that appeared and suddenly left with him, without doing cpr on the scene. I would bet the work was frantic in the ambulance, trying to get a pulse, start an airway, attaching monitoring equipment. The EMT’s may have recognized a cardiac event had happened, but the police, especially Chauvin did not when it was in progress. Fecklessness is not criminal but it sure needs to be dealt with, and throughout the department, not just with one or four officers.

Would he be alive if the cop released his hold when the subject passed out which is REQUIRED per procedures?

Maybe...maybe not. I wish they would release the autopsy results. His “I can’t breath” exclamations indicate a shortness of breath symptom which can possibly go with congestive heart failure or with a condition limiting the oxygenation of his blood. Hell, he could have died of COVID-19.

Probably.
Lots of people who comply with police orders get killed anyway. Compliance is no guarantee of your safety when they decide they want to kill you.
He’d still be alive if he had just handed the cigarettes back and accepted the loss of the counterfeit $20.
