The full autopsy report on George Floyd, the man who died while being restrained by Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin, confirms that Floyd took a highly dangerous narcotic and methamphetamine sometime before he died and suffered with an enlarged heart and high blood pressure.
The report also says Floyd had the Chinese Virus — COVID-19.
And although the Hennepin County, Minnesota, medical examiner concluded that the death was a “homicide,” the final autopsy confirms preliminary findings contained in the criminal complaint against Chauvin.
The final report does not mention asphyxia or strangulation and says Floyd did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
Key Findings The final autopsy report says Floyd, 47, died of “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression,” as a release from Hennepin’s coroner reported a few days ago.
Floyd died on May 25 while Chauvin, 44, pinned him to the ground with a knee to the back of the neck for almost nine minutes, a few which passed after the 6-foot-7-inch Floyd stopped struggling. The criminal complaint against Chauvin says Floyd repeatedly resisted four officers who tried to arrest him for using a fake $20 bill at a store.
But more details in the final autopsy report suggest that Floyd’s underlying health likely contributed to his death.
Among Floyd’s “natural diseases” were “severe” coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and hypertensive heart disease, the top cause of death from high blood pressure, the WebMD website says.
Floyd also suffered with cardiomegaly, an enlarged heart, and had a “clinical history of hypertension.”
Floyd also used dangerous drugs, the report says. The autopsy found fentanyl and methamphetamine in his bloodstream.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain reliever, the Centers for Disease Control says, that is “50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.” Opioids are respiratory depressants.
Floyd complained that he couldn’t breathe before Chauvin pinned him to the ground.
Beyond the findings of serious heart disease and opioid use are those directly related to his fatal encounter with Chauvin.
Floyd suffered multiple “blunt force” wounds, but “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified,” the report says.
A. No facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae B. No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal structures C. No scalp soft tissue, skull, or brain injuries D. No chest wall soft tissue injuries, rib fractures (other than a single rib fracture from CPR), vertebral column injuries, or visceral injuries E. Incision and subcutaneous dissection of posterior and lateral neck, shoulders, back, flanks, and buttocks negative for occult trauma
The absence of petechiae — small red or purple spots in the eyes or skin from bleeding capillaries — is significant because they occur in upwards of 85 percent of strangulation or traumatic asphyxia deaths; i.e., increased pressure on the neck of the kind that Chauvin applied to Floyd.
A nasal swab taken the day after Floyd died divulged the Chinese Virus infection.
Ellison Upgrades Charges, Other Officers in Jail Celebrity pathologist Michael Baden, working for the Floyd family with a pathologist from the University of Michigan, concluded differently and said Floyd died of “asphyxia due to compression of the neck.”
That aside, the question is whether the men can get a fair trial given the circumstances and determination of state officials to see them convicted.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a hard-left Islamic radical and Antifa sympathizer who says the communist terror group is not behind the deranged violence in Minneapolis, took over the prosecution of Chauvin, then added a second-degree murder charge to the original charges of third-degree murder and manslaughter.
Ellison also charged the other offices at the scene, Tou Thao, Thomas K. Lane, and J. Alexander Kueng, with aiding and abetting second-degree murder while committing a felony, and with aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter with culpable negligence.
Ellison’s elevation to a position where he can prosecute others for crimes of violence is something of a strange turn.
In 2018, his former concubine’s son took to Facebook to accuse Ellison of domestic violence:
In the middle of 2017, I was using my mom's computer trying to download something and I clicked on a file, I found over 100 text and twitters messages and video almost 2 min long that showed Keith Ellison dragging my mama off the bed by her feet, screaming and calling her a “f***ing bitch” and telling her to get the f*** out of his house.
Neither law enforcement nor Democratic Party officials did anything about it.
Hens teeth. Unless you’re gates seurity team.
Bingo
I don’t believe he had COVID.
With Keith Ellison as AG, nothing would surprise me. But my gut is telling me there is something deeper with this thing. If you ever watched House of Cards, this is that teacher strike murder incident that they were waiting for to exploit to the fullest. Democrats are evil to the core. They will destroy anyone including their own to achieve their agenda.
I pray for our country.
Lmao....yeah my eyes are lying.
Snopes??
Hell why not just ask Soros?
Believes any of what?
Reuters...lmfao.
Got a link to a non leftist source??
You forgot Wikipedia and CNN ya know...
You aren't getting it. The cop and his bruhs are going to walk. He is charged with 2nd degree murder.
Looks good for the DA. The DA has to prove INTENT. The DA won't, because the dead'un wasn't healthy enough to be doing any crime, and the cop couldn't know that. The cop can't be charged with any lesser crime, after he is innocent of the murder charge, because that is double jeopardy.
Minneapolis will burn, and this time, no cops to stop it.
Note to self: Buy S'mores makings.
Unmentioned in the story, 75% to 90% coronary artery blockages.
Sharyl Attkisson breaks down the difficulties prosecutors will face in this case, including:
- neck restraining, including to induce unconsciousness, is allowed under Minneapolis police dept. rules
- EMT was called before the neck restraint was applied
- Floyd died in transit to the hospital of cardiac arrest
- Prosecutors publicly admitted to rushing charges and not engaging in usual process of review before filing
She also reviews problems the defense will face, but doh on that.

Common issue that the left regularly misuses. Homicide, as used by a medical examiner, only means death at the hands of another, it has no relevance at all to any finding of a law violation. The cause of death in a Self defense case, for example, would be listed as a homicide.
Bild said no
Have YOU got a source where Bild said Yes? Or a link to the actual article?
What the author’s saying is that the M.E. issued a preliminary finding about a week ago and it matches the current finding, only with fewer details.
However, I read he was also charged with 3rd Degree Murder and Manslaughter. So, the jury will get instructions for those lesser included offenses and would likely convict on one of them.
The cases against the other officers, especially the two rookies, seem exceptionally thin and I agree they will likely walk.
Scott Adams and out of the box thinker and way more progressive than we know who's main audience is Trump supporters has been saying this for days on his podcast. He is warning people and that yes it has the potential of wave no. 2...
Was excessive force applied prior to Floyd's breathing difficulty statement?
If not, then he could have died from cardiac arrest anytime thereafter but prior to any application of excessive neck restraint force. More specifically, he could have died after throwing a hissy fit in the police car and physically resisting the efforts of four LEO's to control him.
"..but according to the law to take your victim as you find him.
Only applicable if the actor was found to have acted improperly or, in the criminal setting, if the LEO used excessive force.
FWIW: The mayor also refused to look at the body cameras before firing everybody.
He was talking about having trouble breathing while he was walking to the car.
