[h=2]George Floyd's family hire their own pathologist after official autopsy finds he died of 'police restraint combined with heart disease and potential intoxicants in his system' and not asphyxiation or strangulation by officer[/h]
The preliminary results of the county’s autopsy instead concluded Floyd, 46, died from a combination of heart disease and 'potential intoxicants in his system' that were exacerbated by the restraint placed on him by police officers.
Floyd's family revealed Friday they have now hired the services of renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden to conduct a second, independent autopsy.
They claim the underlying health conditions cited in the official report are ‘an illusion’.
