George Floyd Had Coronavirus, Autopsy Says by Kobojunkie: 1:33pm On Jun 04, 2020 |
The 20-page document released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office says an April 3 test on Floyd was positive for the virus’ genetic code, or RNA. June 3, 2020, 7:41 PM MST By Tim Stelloh George Floyd, whose in-custody death in Minneapolis last week triggered an avalanche of protests over the mistreatment of black people by police, tested positive for the coronavirus weeks before his death, an autopsy report released Wednesday shows. The 20-page document released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office says a test of Floyd on April 3 was positive for the virus' genetic code, or RNA. Full coverage of George Floyd's death and protests around the country Because that RNA can remain in someone's body for weeks after the disease is gone, the autopsy says, a second positive test after his death likely meant that Floyd, 46, was asymptomatic from an earlier infection when he died May 25. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said a positive RNA test doesn't necessarily mean the person is infectious. It wasn't immediately clear whether Floyd developed symptoms earlier in the year or was an asymptomatic carrier. A former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, faces second-degree murder and other charges after he pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for eight minutes while Floyd was lying handcuffed on his stomach. Floyd was suspected of using a counterfeit $20 bill. A bystander's video of Floyd's death sparked outrage across the United States and the immediate firing of Chauvin and three other officers who were involved in detaining him. Charges of aiding and abetting against three other officers, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, were announced Wednesday. The medical examiner's office said this week that Floyd's death was a homicide that occurred while he was being restrained by police. His cause of death was listed as "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." The medical examiner listed other "significant" conditions underlying his death, including hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication and recent methamphetamine use. Those conclusions were in contrast with an independent autopsy conducted by pathologists for Floyd's family. That autopsy concluded that Floyd had no underlying medical problems that contributed to his death. The pathologists also said he died after blood and air flow were cut off to his brain, causing him to die by mechanical asphyxia. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/george-floyd-tested-positive-coronavirus-april-autopsy-says-n1224396 |

In-custody death? White people are crazy! Strangled-to-death-in-custody more like! So, what are they trying to imply? That he wouldn't have died if he didn't have corona? That is, if what the autopsy says is true 1 Like |

Bodydialect57:What sort of leniency ? The man tested positive, so what? You think any judge/ jury will be crazy enough to invite another riot on this issue? |
