   George Floyd tested positive for coronavirus but showed no   
   symptoms or lung damage, a new autopsy report says.   
      
   The report, released on Wednesday by the Herrepin County Medical   
   Examiner's Office, details the injuries and other possible   
   causes of death for George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died   
   in police custody on May 25. The medical examiner administered a   
   nasal swab, which tested positive for COVID-19.   
      
   However, the report states that Floyd was asymptomatic, and his   
   lungs showed no damage, free of malignancy, pneumonia,   
   granulomatous inflammation or polarizable intravascular foreign   
   material. The autopsy noted the most likely cause for the   
   positive result would be “persistent PCR positivity from   
   previous infection.”

   AWARENESS   
      
   Floyd's death sparked global protests, with movements across the   
   nation as well as in Canada, London and Berlin, among others.   
   Video evidence showed Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling   
   on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes, during which time Floyd   
   complained that he couldn't breathe.   
      
   Before its release, the report was a point of controversy,   
   indicating that Floyd died from a combination of underlying   
   health conditions, being restrained by police, and any potential   
   intoxicants in his system. There was reportedly no physical   
   evidence that he died of asphyxia of strangulation.   
      
   The report also noted several instances of drug use, including   
   fentanyl and methamphetamine, which were cited as intoxicants in   
   the original complaint that could have caused his death. Certain   
   drugs, though, can remain in the blood stream for a period of   
   time after use, and the report stated a need for a second test   
   to confirm the presence of amphetamines and other such drugs.   
      
   The report cited several abrasions on the brow, nose, cheeks and   
   shoulders, among other injuries, though it measured no damage to   
   underlying tissues.

   A second, independent autopsy at the request of Floyd's family   
   and lawyer, indicated otherwise: that Floyd's death was caused   
   by asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack   
   of blood flow to the brain. Following the second report,   
   Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison upgraded the charges   
   against Chauvin to second-degree murder and brought charges   
   against three other officers who were present at the time of the   
   incident.
