Original Note:
It is wrong to claim Officer Derek Chauvin bore no responsibility for George Floyd's death. While heart disease and fentanyl were contributing factors, they were not the main causes. Homicide legally refers to taking a human life due to another's actions or omissions. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/04/21/fact-check-george-floyd-autopsy-ruled-his-death-homicide/7317557002/ https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/09/us/derek-chauvin-trial-george-floyd-day-10/index.html https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/867219130/george-floyd-independent-autopsy-homicide-by-asphyxia https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-02/us-medical-examiner-declares-george-floyd-death-homicide/12310334
