The examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, released the 20-page document late
Wednesday evening with the permission of Floyd's family and their legal
team.
After initially suggesting an underlying heart condition and
potential intoxication combined with being held down by three police
officers was behind his death, the medical examiner released a final
ruling this week of "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement
subdural, restraint, and neck compression."
This basically means
he went into cardiac arrest brought on by his restraint from the three
officers – one of whom, Derek Chauvin, had his knee against Floyd's neck
for almost 9 minutes.
Here's a look at some of the key points from the report:
–
Floyd had blunt force bruises and abrasions to the forehead, face, and
upper lip, as well as the shoulders, hands, elbows, and legs, and
bruising of the wrists, consistent with his handcuffing.
– He had severe arteriosclerotic heart disease. He also had an enlarged heart and a history of hypertension.
–
He tested positive for COVID-19, but this wasn't listed as a
contributing factor to his death. Baker said the positive result "most
likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from previous
infection," noting that the virus can persist for weeks after the onset
and recovery from the disease.
– A toxicology report found traces of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, as well as emethamphetamine
