The autopsy report for George Floyd revealed massive amounts of drugs in his system and no injuries that would lead to death.

Meanwhile, the election of or the trial of George Floyd continues to move forward and more revelations are being made. Releasing of the autopsy report has revealed massive amounts of drugs in his system and, as they say, no injuries that would lead to death. In other words, Jeffrey Epstein may not have killed himself, but looks like George Floyd did.

Experts largely disagree that fentanyl or underlying health conditions caused George Floyd's death, finding it unlikely to impossible.

Quote, when Chauvin's trial for his alleged role in Floyd's tragic death begins, much of the argument will center instead on the autopsy details. Most specifically, whether fentanyl and underlying health conditions, not the police officers' actions, stopped Floyd's heart and lungs. Seven experts in toxicology, cardiology, and illegal drug use consulted by the Washington Post largely disagreed with that idea, most of them strenuously. All but one said the autopsy findings and other court documents coupled with the well-known chain of events that evening made death by fentanyl overdose unlikely to impossible.

George Floyd's death is not counted in official COVID-19 death statistics.

So, it is true that George Floyd tested positive for coronavirus back in April, and the positive test result was confirmed in his autopsy, but I can find no evidence that his death has been added to the COVID-19 death counts. The reports I can find on this say that doctors don't believe that the coronavirus played any role in his death, and what Alex is doing is just assuming that because he tested positive, he was listed then as a COVID death. That's handled differently by different states, so it's unclear to me if that's true, but Alex is making the assumption and reporting it as fact, which is sloppy, and now he must substantiate this, which he hasn't. If Alex or any of his interns would have looked into this at all, they would have found that the state of Minnesota released specific guidance in terms of reporting COVID-19 deaths back in April. If they'd looked into this and read it, they might have a better understanding of how these things are reported. The reporting form in Minnesota has multiple sections. The first most important section is about the underlying cause of death. This is part one, and it's set up as a sequence of causality. In one example they give, the cause of death could be reported as acute respiratory distress symptom due to pneumonia due to COVID-19. There is a descending causality tree where the immediate cause of death is linked to the underlying thing that brought about that condition. Then there's a second section, Part 2, where the death certifier can, quote, enter other significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause given in Part 1. It's possible that Floyd could have COVID-19 listed there, but it seems unlikely since all the reports I can find about this indicate that the condition played no role in his death. There's another consideration to keep in mind, and that is from the Minnesota guidance document. Quote, The manner of death, sometimes referred to as circumstances of death, is also reported on death certificates. In the case of death due to COVID-19 infection, the manner of death will almost always be natural. One of the other classifications of manner of death is homicide, which Floyd's death has been consistently deemed to be. A classification of homicide would almost by definition preclude the death for being counted as a COVID-19 death. In order for a COVID-19 death to be homicide, you'd have to probably... Show a case where someone was intentionally infecting people, and that's not this. The point here is that it's incredibly unlikely that George Floyd's death is being counted in the COVID-19 statistics, but that is a claim that Alex is asserting as fact.

The video evidence of George Floyd dropping white powder is inconclusive and does not prove he had drugs in his system.

So I went and I watched the video on Infowars and it's inconclusive at best. It looks like it's possible that he had a baggie of something in his hands, but Alex can't prove what that is. And the bigger picture is, like I said, it doesn't matter.

The white substance seen in the video was likely a paint chip from the wall, not cocaine.

Here's what I think the video shows, and I should tell you I can't prove this, but it's a possible explanation. Right before this supposed baggie of white powder appears to drop out of Floyd's hand, he's backed against the wall by police and slid down into a sitting position. He's coming down this wall, hands behind his back. You can clearly see that this wall that he's sliding down is painted white, with some of the paint missing from the side panel, clearly visible in the video shot. I think it's entirely possible that as he was being slid into a sitting position, his arms and back scraped against the wall, and what Alex is calling a bag of white powder is really just a paint chip.

George Floyd had a gospel legacy and was involved in ministry in Houston.

I'm curious how he missed the article in Christianity Today titled, quote, George Floyd left a gospel legacy in Houston. Just a small walk through that memorial article would have told Alex that Floyd had been involved in ministry in Houston before, quote, moving to Minneapolis for a job interview through a Christian work program. One of the people who worked with him at the church in Houston said, quote, the things that he would say to young men always reference that God trumps street culture. I think he wanted to see young men put guns down and have Jesus instead of the streets. Another fellow churchgoer said, quote, His faith was a heart for the third ward that was radically changed by the gospel, and his mission was empowering other believers to be able to come in and push that gospel forth.

George Floyd worked at the location where Derek Chauvin worked for roughly a year, not several years as claimed by Alex Jones.

It's just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside. Alex is also wrong about them working together for several years. Even the Blaze included the information in their article that Floyd only worked there for, quote, roughly a year.
