(Reuters) - George Floyd, whose fatal encounter with Minneapolis police stirred a global outcry over racial bias by U.S. law enforcement, tested positive for the coronavirus, his autopsy showed, but the infection was not listed as a factor in his death.
The official cause of death, according to the full 20-page report made public on Wednesday by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office, was cardiopulmonary arrest while Floyd was being restrained by police taking him into custody on May 25.
The coroner ruled the manner of death to be a homicide.
The autopsy, in listing cardiopulmonary arrest as the cause of Floyd’s death, also cited “complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression.”
The report listed several additional factors as “significant conditions” contributing to Floyd’s death, including heart disease, high blood pressure and intoxication from the powerful opioid fentanyl, as well as recent methamphetamine use.
The report further noted that a nasal swab sample collected from Floyd’s body came back positive for COVID-19, and that Floyd had also tested positive on April 3, nearly eight weeks before his death.
The county’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, concluded that the post mortem test result “most likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent ... positivity from previous infection.” There was no indication in the autopsy report that coronavirus played any role in Floyd’s death.
Dr. Michael Baden, one of two medical examiners who conducted a private autopsy for Floyd’s family, told the New York Times that county officials never told him, or the funeral director, that Floyd had tested positive for COVID-19.

Can New York sue Minnesota for causing a riot in NYC?
The gross anatomic and histologocal examinations od the autopsy record normal lung tissue.
There is no affect on his lungs as reported by the medical examiner. Additionally the cause of death was ruled as homicide.
These are the facts.
Of course he did. In racist America blacks are unfairly targeted by covid.
And the covid denominator grows. Here we have another person who got it and survived....well survived covid anyway.
I will follow you and continue to present the truth to your lunacy
The postmortem revealed
1. Multivessel and and diffuse atherosclerotic disease (not covoid)
2. Hypertrophic disease consistent with long standing cardiac disease (not covid)
3. Normal gross and histology long examination
4. Covid dx April 3
He was fully recovered. Engaging in normal life.
I know you can’t help yourself but you look like an ass keeping up this narrative.
But don’t let the facts get in your way.
A life lived in fear is not living. I feel truly sorry for your irrational fear
All we’ve been hearing for months is how spreading COVID 19 is the most horrible crime anybody can commit. Dare to go to the beach, or play catch with your kid in an empty park, and you’ll be arrested. Now we come to find out that saintly George Floyd, in addition to his other crimes, was spreading COVID 19 all over the place.
That Floyd was on the ground was an indication that he resisted arrest.
The fact that Floyd hung around is an indication that he didn’t know the $20 bill was bad.
Floyd might have hung around to drink or eat. Floyd might have regurgitated food and the fentanyl might have blocked his cough reflex.
Soda might have caused a swallowed pill to disintigrate fast.
He’s the first person with Covid that there will be no mention of Covid on his DC.
Some people love for years with 99% blockages.
Medical fact
So if he didn’t have a problem with Covid and he SHOULD have had a problem with covid given his various health conditions..you ...as a scientist..don’t see value in looking at WHY he didn’t have a problem
Okay
Rock on...
now tell us what his HIGH morphine free level means
Do drug abusers of meth and fentanyl and THC usually live for years with 99% blockage?
What about Cocaine?
Tree pollen tends to be high in late May in Minneapolis according to a 2017 state chart.
Of course he was.
It is possible. Do you understand what causes a heart attack? When you have a 99% blockage what it is that casuals a heart attack?
Yes infected...and completely recovered
Too bad it was not the fast acting kind/
So tell me what YOU would tell a patient who you knew was a Fentanyl abuser or Heroin or Cocaine that you knew had a 99% blocked artery
Hey, go ahead and live your life
You wont die?
You can’t answer the question can you? Only ask me a set of questions to deflect.
You don’t understand how a heart attack works. And you spout nonsense. It must be hard when your mask comes off and reveals you have no idea what you are talking about.
Do you understand what causes a heart attack. Obviously you don’t as you were unable to answer
So to anyone reading this thread please note rummychick has again demonstrated her ignorance but demands you believe her to be an expert.
You have done well revealing your lack of understanding. There is little else to say.
By the way you can google the answer to my question but you still will not understand it.
There is no point dealing further with you as you again demonstrate you are not reachable
A life lived in fear is not living
He was Mostly Dead ?
I can google it and figure it out but I am not a medical Dr NOR do I deal in medicine as a profession in any way.
But again, what would YOU tell someone with a 99 percentage block who was a drug abuser?
Would you let them leave your office telling them not to worry all is fine
If you did, what do you think would happen to you if they died from a heart attack?
