The medical examiner who performed the only autopsy. George floyd told a u. S. Court he died from a police neck restraint and not drugs dr andrew bacon said floyd did to have Underlying Health issues and evidence of drug use but need it directly caused his death for. Chauvinism killing floyd by kneeling on his neck ellen fisher reports from the trial in minneapolis. The prosecution has produced a number of experts to say george floyd died because of Police Action latest to appear in court Lindsay Thomas a forensic pathologist who reviewed the videos of the night and me and idolized all the photos in lab reports what it means to me is that the activities of the Law Enforcement officers resulted in mr ford staff and that specifically those activities were the subdual of the restraint and neck compression and does this not also represent your own conclusion yes a conclusion you have reached an opinion you hold a reasonable degree of medical certainty yes she said Police Officers fired no pulse and george floyd is really on the ground to continue to pressure on him she ruled out drugs or Heart Disease is the cause of death a theory put forward by the defense she suggested if george floyd had not encountered the police that night he would still be alive do you. Have an opinion to reasonable degree of medical certainty if mr thwaite would have died that night had he not been subject to the subdual and restraint of the police theres no evidence to suggest he would have died that night except for the interactions with Law Enforcement. Another witness was untrue because the man who carried out the autopsy on george floyd he didnt watch any videos before his examination he ruled the death was home a sight i did not want to bias my exam by going in with any preconceived notions that might lead me down one pathway or another he said he phoned underlying heart issues in georgia floyd and the altercation with police would not. It helped what that adrenaline is going to do is its going to ask your heart to beat faster its going to ask your body for more oxygen so that you can get through that alter cation and in my opinion the Law Enforcement subdual restraint in the not compression was just more than mr floyd could take by virtue of that those heart conditions under crossexamination dr baker agreed there were many factors involved in the death that drugs and Heart Disease may have played a part but he said they were contributing factors not the direct cause of its expected the prosecution will end its case early next week the defense will then get the chance to present what it believes.
