Original Note:
Official cause of death is “cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained”. It is not scientifically ascertained whether the restraining was the primary cause, or the drugs in Floyd’s system, or his heart disease, or his hypertension, or something else. https://apnews.com/article/george-floyd-minneapolis-heart-disease-mn-state-wire-homicide-d41cdf6cefbb3e5603a28e6dc07f9589 https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/06/12/george-floyd-criminal-record/ https://www.mncourts.gov/getattachment/Media/StateofMinnesotavTouThao/Container-Documents/Content-Documents/Exhibit-4.pdf.aspx?lang=en-US
