People who use opiates every day build up a tolerance so that george floyd almost certainly had a higher tolerance than the average person pound for pound. Not to mention, he had a lot of pounds.
He had a really bad heart for his age, serious heart disease. He may have been suffering from long haul covid or significant covid damage to his lungs.
Fentanyl levels almost certainly contributed.
The cop could not be expected to anticipate any of these complications. But the autopsy concluded no signs of strangulation or choking. The airways of his throat and head were never cut off.
This is the be all and end of opiates. The strongest one. Building up a tolerance is like parts of milligrams. 1.
I read about fentanyl overdose when this shit happened in the summer. The lethal amounts are highly variable— some person might be able to survive 4 times the concentrations that would kill someone else. Addicts can withstand a lot.
But a some point dead is dead. Some may survive a bullet to the head, but surely not 3.
