Doc: Asphyxia ‘most likely killed Mr Floyd'

THE DOCTOR who pronounced George Floyd dead said that he felt “asphyxia” was the most likely cause of his death.

Emergency medicine physician, Dr Bradford Langenfeld, tried to unsuccessfully to resuscitate George after he arrived in hospital “unresponsive with no pulse”.

George, 46, died after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, 45, kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes during an arrest.
