Chauvin trial: George Floyd died due to low oxygen, not drug overdose, another expert testifies

A forensic pathologist testified on Friday that the sheer volume of videos of George Floyd‘s arrest helped confirm the finding that asphyxiation by police caused his death, and not an opioid overdose, as argued by lawyers for Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis officer on trial for his murder.

Dr. Lindsey Thomas said she agreed with the findings of the Hennepin County medical examiner who ruled Floyd’s death was caused by the way Chauvin put his knee on Floyd's neck and pinned him to the ground for over 9 minutes on May 25, 2020.

“There’s never been case I was involved in that had videos over such a long time frame and from so many different perspectives,” she told the jury, saying the videos made it clear physical signs associated with opioid overdose were not seen in Floyd’s death.
