Original Note:
There is no evidence to date that Floyd overdosed on drugs or held a pregnant woman at gunpoint, & these claims have been debunked. Floyd died of Cardiopulmonary Arrest while held by police. Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder & manslaughter over Floyd's death. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-george-floyd-autopsy-new-892530421961 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/11/03/george-floyd-was-murdered-did-not-die-of-drug-overdose-fact-check/71410099007/ https://www.factcheck.org/2023/11/no-change-in-george-floyds-cause-of-death-despite-viral-false-claims/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/lung-expert-testifies-george-floyd-died-because-his-breathing-was-restricted https://www.ft.com/content/b9b2cf7b-e7c8-42aa-9fda-7fd20cf61892 https://www.wral.com/story/fact-check-photo-doesn-t-show-woman-assaulted-by-floyd/19152282/
