George Floyd Tested Positive For COVID-19, Autopsy Shows

A full autopsy report has shown that the late George Floyd tested positive for Coronavirus before his death in Minneapolis police custody last week.

According to an autopsy report released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office that also showed trace amounts of fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system.

The 20-page autopsy report, dated May 25, the day of Floyd's death, released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office proved that Floyd tested positive for COVID-19 in April.

The death has been ruled a homicide, or the result of deliberate actions taken by another, regardless of whether the death itself was deliberate.

Chauvin was charged last Friday with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

On Wednesday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) announced the charges against Chauvin would be upgraded to second-degree murder and that the other three officers present on the scene were also charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
