"The cover up just started" - Outrage as Floyd's autopsy notes that he had underlying health condition and asphyxiation is not the cause of his death

People have taken to Twitter to protest after the result of George Floyd's autopsy stated that there are “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation", but noted that Floyd had underlying health conditions.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner released these findings after conducting an autopsy on George Floyd on May 26.

The preliminary results of the autopsy were included in the statement of probable cause for charges against Derek Chauvin.

The statement said:

“Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.”
