I may have misspoken. I don’t know that his carotid artery was occluded, but I believe an interruption in blood supply was on the autopsy. The point I was trying to make was even if Floyd’s airway was open, an interruption of blood supply may have contributed to his death. It sounded like Chauvin was making an effort to assess Floyd’s well being with the comment if he can talk he can breathe but may have overlooked the fact that the blood supply to his heart and brain may have been interrupted. Floyd would have been able to talk for a period of time depending on the severity of an occlusion. Read my later comment regarding Fentanyl. This may have been a much larger factor than put out in the media.
