(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.

lung damage from covid + fentanyl overdose = “I can’t breathe”
btw, it continues to be very weird that you wont tell us what high morphine free levels mean in that autopsy.
George Floyd was infected with COVID-19, autopsy reveals
And like most of the black community infected with “Victim hood” that they refuse to give up.
They keep yelling “equality” well that comes with earning it. It is not bestowed on a person at birth. Respect is another that must be earned and they cannot see it for the infection.
I don’t believe it at all.
Red Herring. you dont know what you are talking about. Keep putting your full ignorance on display. Doesn’t bother me in the least.
What does the high morphine level mean?
Do you not know?????????
Or you just dont want to admit it?
I AM SORRY you can’t read. I answered your toxicology questions twice. I am not inclined to answer a third time. If you can’t read or comprehend, not my problem.
btw, again...please tell me what you as a DR ..subject to malpractice suit if you commit malpractice... would tell someone you knew to be a drug abuser who had a 99% blockage.
Would you tell them they have no problem and just go live their life . THey wont die from it
Let me answer it for you since you wont answer it.
If you did that, and the person died from a heart attack..you would be sued for malpractice.
Covid-19, meth, fentynol, cop’s knee. He’d have soon been dead no matter what.
It is evidence they are a drug abuser
Admit it.
I explained the toxicology results on post #57 in the other thread. It does not show anything of the sort. There are a million reasons as previously stated, however your agenda makes it that he is a heroine addict who died of a heart attack related to drugs.
You do not understand what causes a heart attack as evidenced by your evasion of the question. It is odd you accuse me of that which you do. Typical of people who have no idea about that which they speak
What killed this guy is NOT covid(normal lungs). NOT a heart attack (hint there would have been a finding that was not reported, this is why I asked you what causes a heart attack, it would have been obvious on post mortem examination). It was ruled a homicide, and he had a 200 pound guy kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes, of which he was unresponsive for 5
Keep it up. Keep throwing red herrings. Keep studying Medcram (not a reputable site). Those of us who know and are expert in the field know exactly what findings would have been published if your theory is correct.
Your so called evidence its not a definitive conclusion. I am sorry. You dont know all the variables so you cannot proffer a diagnosis. But go ahead, tell the world you are right while the world laughs at you.
Dr Seheult is not a reputable Dr?????
GTFO with your BS
Did he have a murder hornet sting as well?
Probably
His teaching experience goes back to his college days at the University of California, Riverside where he was a tutor in physics and chemistry, and graduated Magna Cum Laude with majors in Chemistry and Biology. He later honed his skills teaching the MCAT, DAT, and USMLE for Kaplan test prep. After graduating from the Loma Linda University School of Medicine in 2000, he completed a residency in Internal Medicine, a chief residency at the Riverside County Regional Medical Center, and a fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Loma Linda University.
Roger's current practice is in Banning California where he is a pulmonologist and sleep physician at Beaver Medical Group. He was formerly the Director for Intensive Care Services at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital. He lectures routinely across the country at conferences and for medical, PA, and RT societies.
Your source -- he teaches PA's is not a full professor despite 20 years of academic medicine, Teaches undergraduate and resident test prep (not even test prep for the boards) and has a youtube channel He is probably a good pulmonigist, however his credentials do not put him at the level that you represent. he is a wicked good marketer, however.
I am willing to bet he has treated more COVID patients than YOU
Let’s see how credible YOU are
What would you tell a patient who you had just diagnozed with 99% blocked artery that you knew was a Fentanyl drug abuser
Come on
tell the truth
would you let him walk out of your office telling him all would be fine
“The fact that Floyd hung around is an indication that he didn’t know the $20 bill was bad.”
Not sure what your point is, but he tried and failed to pass the fake twenty. He went back A SECOND time and got it passed long enough for him to leave the store. The owner then called the cops on him.
So, he KNEW it was fake. Sorry to burst your bubble.
George Floyd killed HIMSELF. He had been at it for YEARS. The cop just had unfortunate timing and knee placement.
But hey.... lets release a whole bunch of balloons in his “honor”.
I am willing to bet your are wrong.
