    George Floyd Died of Asphyxiation

    Family-Ordered Autopsy: George Floyd Died of Asphyxiation

    An autopsy commissioned for George Floyd's family found that Floyd died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression when a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes and ignored his cries of distress, the Floyd family's attorneys said Monday.

    The autopsy by a doctor who also examined Eric Garner's body found the compression cut off blood to Floyd's brain, and weight on his back made it hard to breathe.

    The family's autopsy differs from the official autopsy as described in a criminal complaint against the officer.

    That autopsy included the effects of being restrained, along with underlying health issues and potential intoxicants in Floyd's system, but also said it found nothing "to support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation."

    This annoys me no end:

    Two doctors who carried out an independent autopsy of George Floyd say the cause of his death was "mechanical asphyxia" and that his death was a homicide.
