Those were all contributing factors - but the neck and chest compression put on him by the police and the positioning on the sidewalk were the DIRECT causes of his HOMICIDE. Read the medical examiner report.
Let the Federal grand jury decide if his civil rights were violated and if the policeman should be bound over for trial.
