If all other causes of death are ruled out, this may not be as big of a deal.
The restraint is listed as a contributor to the death.
If he didn’t overdose, then we’re back to death by restraint with confounding factors of his weight, health and drug/alcohol usage.
I think kneeling on a guys neck for 8 minutes is unnecessary. The issue is you have to prove it killed him, not "likely contributed".
This will be a hard case to prosecute for murder. Maybe manslaughter if they get a sympathetic jury.

As I reread the document, the ME is very specific. He doesn’t say it wasn’t “asphyxia.” He says it wasn’t “traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.” That doesn’t rule out all asphyxia. It conditionally rules out asphyxia due to being choked. It still leaves positional asphyxia or mechanical asphyxia on the table and the rest of the bit from the ME confirms that.
I’m not sure that statement is as important as we’re making it out to be
