First of all, you would have to know the AVD (apparent volume of distribution) of fentanyl in a living person. You would have to know the volume of all his fluid spaces (blood, plasma, tissue). You would have to know the pharmacokinetics of all the fentanyl metabolites. And you would have to know the time he took the dose, the route of administration and the half life of fentanyl and perhaps its metabolites. Then you would have to know the half life in a dead person,. since many cells continue to work after a person is "dead".

In short, the levels found at autopsy have nothing to do with his levels while he was being arrested or how much of an initial dose he took, and the simple extrapolation that was presented is essentially worthless. And the problems I mentioned are just off the top of my head, an expert in the field could probably point out many more.

All that technical babble aside, the victim is still dead as a result of blatant excessive force. Still, everyone should calm down and let the criminal justice system do its job. Rioting and looting only exacerbates the problem.

Exactly their intent to promote their agenda.
