Original Note:
George Floyd's autopsy did show high levels of drugs in his system, and while it would be reasonable to point to this as a contributory cause to his death, the direct cause was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression". https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-george-floyd-overdose-death/fact-check-no-evidence-drug-overdose-was-main-cause-of-death-for-george-floyd-in-2020-idUSL1N3241XJ
