As against the previous inaccurate George Floyd autopsy circulated by CNN on George Floyd’s death by the county medical examiner.
The county result said that “It did not find evidence of “traumatic asphyxia or strangulation”.
The official examination also said underlying health conditions played a role in Mr Floyd’s death.
But a private post-mortem examination hired by Floyd’s family, found that George Floyd; the African-American man whose death has sparked civil unrest, died from asphyxia (lack of oxygen).
The two doctors hired by the Floyd family found the death was a homicide, a statement from its legal team said.
“The cause of death in my opinion is asphyxia, due to compression to the neck; which can interfere with oxygen going to the brain – and compression to the back, which interferes with breathing; ” Dr Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner and one of the pair, said at a news conference.
Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for the Floyd family, told Monday’s news conference; “Beyond doubt he would be alive today if not for the pressure applied to his neck by officer Derek Chauvin and the strain on his body by two other officers.”
He added: “The ambulance was his hearse.”
Dr Baden said there was “no other health issue that could cause or contribute to the death”.
