I don’t know how folks continue to take her seriously but George Floyd DID NOT die from a drug overdose.. The autopsy said he had 11ng/ml in his system based on the postmortem reports.. First of all you can’t properly determine antemortem drug concentrations https://twitter.com/RealCandaceO/status/1370136836891377665

based solely on postmortem drug concentrations.. It is highly variable and many factors need to be understood as shown below.. Utilizing the postmortem data alone to characterize Floyd as a drug addict does not correlate.

So let’s discuss the level of fentanyl he had in his system which was 11ng/ml. Is this a fatal level? As was mentioned above to base this postmortem level as if this accurately describes his antemortem level is not correct. As I mentioned the postmortem data is highly variable

As you can see in this study below postmortem levels can range from 1-102.2 ng/ml which is a huge range..

In this study above they showed that the illicit death group had a mean concentration of 26.4 ng/ml and the natural group had 11.8ng/ml (Floyd had 11ng/ml remember)..

Other studies have shown other concentrations of postmortem fentanyl levels for the illicit group being other levels shown below

The same study mentioned once again the reason why it is important to understand why basing antemortem levels off the post data without regarding all these factors will not be accurate (drug in this study was transdermal fentanyl)

So as we see postmortem fentanyl levels very widely and the level George had in his system has shown to be normal in several studies.. The question is was George exhibiting respiratory depression symptoms before the officer put a knee on his neck? Nope not at all..

Floyd was obeying commands, when told to sit, he sat, when told to get out of the car he did, he was even yelling out he couldn’t breathe when the officer had his knee on him.. He was not displaying respiratory depression symptoms. Each individual will have a different tolerance

Level to opioids. some will tolerate higher doses than others.. Another autopsy the family got stated it was a homicide. So George was not a “junkie” he didn’t die of a drug OD.. No he died when the officer placed a knee on his neck for over 8 minutes
