During his interaction with Minneapolis police officers, Floyd allegedly resisted arrest. Office Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd\u2019s neck for nearly nine minutes. Floyd later died. A medical examiner ruled Floyd died of asphyxiation related to the incident, but further testimony from the Chief Medical Examiner suggests Floyd may have been affected by drugs in his system at the time of his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/medical-examiner-concluded-george-floyd-likely-died-of-fentanyl-overdose-court-docs-reveal\">The Daily Wire<\/a> previously reported, \u201cChief Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker concluded George Floyd likely died from a fentanyl overdose and found \u2018no physical evidence suggesting\u2019 that he died of asphyxiation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Methamphetamine, in addition to fentanyl, was found in his system. On top of the drugs, Floyd also suffered from a heart condition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/shapiro-no-the-derek-chauvin-trial-isnt-a-referendum-on-american-racism\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported.
