The family of George Floyd, the black man whose death sparked sometimes violent demonstrations in numerous U.S. cities, said they will release the results of an independent autopsy on Monday.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who carried out an independent autopsy of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, was one of two doctors hired by Floyd’s family to carry out a review. It came after prosecutors said a preliminary finding on his cause of death found that the combined factors of him being restrained by an officer, who had a knee on his neck, as well as possible intoxicants and underlying health problems, such as heart disease, likely contributed to his death.
