A doctor testifying in the trial of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin says George Floyd’s drug use and underlying health conditions contributed to Floyd's death last summer when being arrested by Chauvin and other police officers.
Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker said Friday that Floyd’s "severe heart disease" and his "toxicology" were contributing factors to his death as Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly 10 minutes.
Floyd was arrested for allegedly trying to pass off a counterfeit $20
bill and resisted being put into a police cruiser during the May 25,
2020, incident.
