Original Note:
The claim that George Floyd died of a drug overdose has been repeatedly debunked. While he did have fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system, his autopsy concluded he died from cardiopulmonary arrest while Derek Chauvin was kneeling on his neck, not an overdose. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-george-floyd-autopsy-new-892530421961 https://www.factcheck.org/2023/11/no-change-in-george-floyds-cause-of-death-despite-viral-false-claims/ https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/no-evidence-drug-overdose-was-main-cause-of-death-for-george-floyd-in-2020-idUSL1N3241XJ/
