Original Note:
Medical examiners attributed Floyd's cause of death to "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression" — which essentially means he died because his heart and lungs stopped while he was being restrained by police. https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/06/12/george-floyd-criminal-record/
