Independent Autopsy Rules <br />George Floyd's Death a Homicide <br />by 'Asphyxiation' According to CNN, <br />an independent autopsy was <br />performed on George Floyd's body after the Hennepin County Medical Examiner <br />found "no physical findings" to "support a diagnosis <br />of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation." The new autopsy says <br />that Floyd's death was a <br />homicide and that he died of <br />"asphyxiation from sustained pressure." Ben Crump, attorney for the Floyd family, says that Floyd <br />was practically "dead on the scene" after ex-police <br />officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck. Attorney Ben Crump, <br />via CNN Chauvin has since been charged with <br />third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, <br />but Crump and other supporters say he should be <br />charged with first-degree murder.
