The report by Chief Medical Examiner Andrew Baker spelled out clinical details, including that Floyd had tested positive for COVID-19 on April 3 but appeared asymptomatic. The report also noted Floyds lungs appeared healthy but he had some narrowing of arteries in the heart. Floyd family attorney, Ben Crump, earlier decried the official autopsy as described in the original complaint against Chauvin for ruling out asphyxia. An autopsy commissioned by the Floyd family concluded that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression.
