Floyd’s underlying health conditions included coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The report says the underlying health conditions, combined with Chauvin’s restraint and any possible intoxicants in Floyd’s system, likely contributed to his death.
Any intoxicants in his system should be known definitively by the coroner, not just possible. Either he choked to death and the coroner is lying, or he's still alive and the coroner is lying. The coroner is in on it, whatever it is.
Currently, the full report is not released yet. It might have to go through some HIPPA-style vetting before the rest is cleared for public release.
