It's not new evidence. I was bitching about this when it was first released. He died of a drug related heart attack. Drugs raised his blood pressure up the dangerous levels, resisting arrest brought on a heart attack. It was an overdose. It is indeed false these findings are new.jerrab » 25 Nov 2023, 2:57 pm » wrote: ↑ https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-g ... 2530421961
CLAIM: A new autopsy report for George Floyd has been released in 2023, revealing he died from a drug overdose, not from the actions of arresting Minneapolis police officers.AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Social media users are sharing a page from the 20-page autopsy report that was publicly released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office in full on June 3, 2020. It has not been changed since. While the page says he had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system, and did not have “life-threatening injuries,” the full report concludes Floyd died from “cardiopulmonary arrest,” not an overdose.THE FACTS: As the three-year anniversary of Floyd’s death arrived on Thursday, some social media users shared what they erroneously claimed was new evidence about the circumstances of his passing.Many of the posts presented a page from an autopsy report that supposedly had not been made public before. One section on the page lists the drugs that were in Floyd’s system when he died, while another states, “no life-threatening injuries identified.”
