George Floyd died of “mechanical asphyxiation,” concludes an independent autopsy commissioned by the Floyd family.
“The officers killed him,” Benjamin Crump (photo), the Floyd family attorney said at a Monday afternoon press conference moments ago. He “said an independent autopsy found his death was homicide,” The New York Times adds.
Crump said the family wants all four officers to be charged with first degree murder. Only one of the four officers has been arrested.
The Hennepin County’s medical examiner’s autopsy offered different conclusions.
