One report says one thing, another says something else

An independent autopsy ordered by George Floyd's family found his death was a "homicide caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain," according to early findings from the examination released Monday.

The criminal complaint said the official examination of Floyd's body by the medical examiner is still ongoing, but prosecutors provided some information about this death. This is separate from the independent autopsy requested by Floyd's family.

The medical examiner's initial findings revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation, according to the complaint. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease, the complaint said.
