The coroner's report (link above) shows someone with fentanyl levels consistent with non-therapeutic use. It shows cannabis, meth, and morphine levels consistent with recent use (including cannabis metabolite levels consistent with being high at the time of arrest). The blood screening shows no antemortem sickling - i.e. - no sickle cell anemia that would warrant prescription use of fentanyl. The report also shows no indication of damage to the lungs or trachea as a result of his being held down. Lastly, it shows an enlarged heart consistent with cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
Fact of the matter is that a person with a criminal record for violent behavior chose to get high, pass counterfeit money, and then violently resist arrest. The bodycams produced as evidence during the trial refute the claim that he was being suffocated because the officer's knee was on his back/shoulder and not compressing his trachea nor his carotid arteries.
George Floyd killed George Floyd.
