George Floyd- Autopsy report shows that he tested coronavirus positive

George Floyd’s autopsy report released Wednesday shows he had coronavirus.

The full report released by the Office of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirms that Floyd died on May 25 after his heart stopped as a police officer restrained him and suppressed his neck, but also says he has tested positive for 2019-nCoV RNA, otherwise known as the novel coronavirus.

The coroner says George Floyd had no problems or active symptoms at the time of his death although he tested coronavirus positively.

It says, “positivity for 2019-nCoV can persist for weeks after the onset and resolution of clinical disease, the autopsy result most likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from previous infection.”

The report also noted that Floyd’s lungs seemed healthy but he had some artery narrowing in his heart.

The earlier overview report of the county had mentioned opioid overdose and recent usage of methamphetamine under “other serious circumstances” but not “cause of death.” Footnotes from the full report indicated that symptoms of opioid toxicity may involve “extreme respiratory failure” and seizures.
