Original Note:
The page before this one says that Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest as a result of "law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." An independent autopsy disagreed and found the cause of death to be asphyxiation. Both agree drug use was not the cause. https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hennepinus/residents/public-safety/medical-examiner/floyd-autopsy-6-3-20.pdf https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-george-floyd-autopsy-new-892530421961 https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/no-evidence-drug-overdose-was-main-cause-of-death-for-george-floyd-in-2020-idUSL1N3241XJ/ https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/09/us/derek-chauvin-trial-george-floyd-day-10/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/01/us/george-floyd-independent-autopsy/index.html
