George Floyd died due to lack of oxygen, not drugs: Doctor

Al Jazeera, 09 Apr 2021
A doctor has emphatically rejected claims that George Floyd's drug use and underlying health problems caused his death.
Lung and critical care specialist, Dr Martin Tobin, testified that Floyd died from a lack of oxygen while being pinned to the pavement with a knee on his neck.
The trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin was shown animations of him and two other officers holding Floyd down during the arrest.
