The linked autopsy report resides within the official Hennepin County domain.

The opening header of the document lists Floyd’s death May 25, 2020 at 9:25PM.

We have been told he died in the street, at Chauvin’s hands, in the afternoon.

On page two of the report, section VI, toxicology results cite blood drawn antemortem, at 9:00PM, and Urine drawn postmortem. Antemortem = before death.

Is this news to anyone but me?

Time is death is a legal matter, and often doesn't match biological death. Different legal system deals with it slightly differently, but usually someone qualified needs to inspect the body before declaring a time of death.

This is true. A representative of the state often makes the determination. An attending certified MD also often makes the determination, in which case the state defers to the attending to establish the official state TOD.

In this trial the state told the jury Floyd was killed in the street, in the afternoon, drawing his last breath under the knee of Chauvin.

They were told this repeatedly by the prosecution.

There is a disconnect between facts asserted by the state in the courtroom, and facts asserted by the state on the state official autopsy report.

That disconnect interests me.
