Dr. Allecia Wilson, director of autopsy and forensic sciences at the university of Michigan, said Monday that evidence shows that George Floyd died of mechanical asphyxia.

“We acknowledge that additional medical information including toxicology and further investigation are necessary for a final report, however, the evidence is consistent with mechanical asphyxia as the cause of death and homicide as the manner of death,” she said.

A preliminary autopsy mentioned by authorities in charging documents filed against former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin found “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.”

Authorities said Floyd had likely died from a combination of being restrained by police, underlying health conditions and "any potential intoxicants in his system.”

that's a bit more than a "family" autopsy, no?

the first ME said being restrained by police played a role, the second autopsy confirmed it

There's essentially nothing to see here as this confirms what every unbiased and rational person already knew.
