The independent autopsy of George Floyd commissioned by his family and conducted by a team including renowned pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, conflicts with the results of official Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
The Star-Tribune reports:
Two autopsy results — one requested by George Floyd’s family and the other from Hennepin County — agree that his death is a homicide but disagree over exactly what killed him.
During a news conference Monday afternoon, two doctors hired by the Floyd family to do a private autopsy said they believe he died of asphyxia, which happens when oxygen flow is cut off, causing the brain and other organs to stop working.
“We believe truth will help lead to justice and so, despite how painful these autopsy findings are, especially for George Floyd’s family, we think it is essential that the truth comes out about the manner and the exact manner and science as to how George Floyd was killed,” Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Floyd family, told reporters.
Hours later, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office issued its final public report, stating that Floyd died as a result of “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.” A spokesperson for the office, citing Minnesota laws, said they could not discuss that cause of death further.
The report noted that Floyd “experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement officer(s).”
It also listed “arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease,” as well as fentanyl intoxication, recent methamphetamine use as “other significant conditions.”
Although both autopsies agree that homicide was the cause of death, the conflict injects the possibility of “reasonable doubt” being used by defense counsel in the eventual trial of Derek Chauvin.

But this is science! How can there be disagreement??
Believe Baden!
he was speedballing
it will complicate the case
he had to be subdued
cop used their approved method
but I think it went on too long
That’s what juries are for, when properly (not politically) selected, to sort through conflicting evidence and figure out who’s credible.

Drug overdose. I just knew that was coming. MAYBE complicated by the knee on the neck. I’m sure he will be found guilty.....or there will be more ‘protests’ at the verdict. Vigilante justice reigns supreme when a White is involved in the death of a Black man.
With two conflicting autopsies, everyone has a conclusion that feeds their confirmation bias.
Believe Baden?
Not after he botched the Michael Brown autopsy
Is the defendant going to be allowed to get HIS own autopsy person? Let’s make it a threesome.
Who paid for the family’s autopsy?
He was subdued, he was coffee and brought to the ground. Then he should have been put in the back of the patrol car.
Probably not. All say that the actions of the police officers were, at best, a contributing factor in his death and, at worst, the cause of his death. So Chauvin will go on trial and any of the autopsies can be used against him.
Hmmm
No jury in the land will acquit this cop.
Baden is to autopsies as Fauci is to viruses.
Michael Baden sounded like he was eighty-five years old in the presser yesterday. I suppose that is because he is eighty-five years old.
You Nailed it!
Sounds like a good place for DOCTOR Ben Carson to step in.
I wish Trump would have picked him for VP instead of Pence.
Pence seems to be a nice enough guy, but he has the charisma of a glass of warm milk.
It’s Biology. It’s a soft science. Or pseudo-science.
