Chief Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker testified Friday afternoon in the trial of former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis that heart disease and drugs were contributing factors in the death of George Floyd. Baker, who conducted the autopsy on Floyd, had listed the cause of death on Floyd’s death certificate as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.” But he also had noted “contributing conditions” on Floyd’s death certificate, including “arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; recent methamphetamine use.” Under cross-examination by defense attorney Eric Nelson, Baker said that other factors had been significant enough to note: Dr. Baker: So when you put those [contributing conditions] on a death certificate, as a physician, what you are saying is I think these played some role in his death.
