(Newser) – "George died because he needed a breath, a breath of air," family attorney Ben Crump said Monday in announcing the results of an autopsy conducted at the request of his family. It's one that the Star Tribune reports "directly challenge[s]" the initial findings from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office, which attributed George Floyd's death to factors including being restrained, underlying health issues, and possible intoxication. The family's autopsy said he was asphyxiated due to neck and back compression; the official autopsy was explicit in saying it found no evidence "to support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation."
