> The manner of death was ruled homicide Nowhere in the Hennepin County autopsy does it say "homicide". https://bit.ly/2YQiNSG https://bit.ly/2YQiNSG. The title is unclear. I said "independent" in quotes because I was talking about the autopsy that was commissioned by Floyd's family. Of course I do not think the one commissioned by Floyd's family is independent at all. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/01/george-floyd-family-minneapolis-police-to-release-results-of-own-autopsy/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/01/george-floyd-family-m.... > [The county medical office] have a clear financial and reputational incentive to find that Derek Chauvin did not intentionally kill George Floyd. Are you saying they made up the meth and possibly lethal level of fentanyl in Floyd's system? Those would explain why he was reportedly "not in control of himself". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_George_Floyd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_George_Floyd

It is possible that drug use contributed to George Floyd's death.
