Independent Autopsy Rules
George Floyd's Death a Homicide
by 'Asphyxiation' According to CNN,
an independent autopsy was
performed on George Floyd's body after the Hennepin County Medical Examiner
found "no physical findings" to "support a diagnosis
of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation." The new autopsy says
that Floyd's death was a
homicide and that he died of
"asphyxiation from sustained pressure." Ben Crump, attorney for the Floyd family, says that Floyd
was practically "dead on the scene" after ex-police
officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck. Attorney Ben Crump,
via CNN Chauvin has since been charged with
third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter,
but Crump and other supporters say he should be
charged with first-degree murder. Medical Examiner Dr.
