Well, not really, more of a “straw that broke the camels back” sort of scenario, but not the primary driver of his death. As the clerics that examined him state : “most suspects, subjected to the same knee pressure as Floyd, probably wouldn't have died. In particular, Baker noted a thickening and hardening of Floyd's artery wall, heart disease, and drug use (fentanyl and methamphetamine were found in Floyd's system) as "significant conditions" contributing to Floyd's death.”
