George Floyd died of a lack of oxygen from being pinned to the pavement with a knee on his neck, a medical expert testified at former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin\u2019s\u00a0murder trial\u00a0on Thursday, rejecting Chauvin\u2019s defence theory that drug use and underlying health problems killed Floyd.<\/p>\n

\"George-Floyd-died-due-to-lack-of-oxygen-not-drugs-Doctor-rapidnews-dailyrapid\"<\/p>\n

\u201cA healthy person subjected to what Mr Floyd was subjected to, would have died,\u201d said prosecution witness Dr Martin Tobin, a lung and critical care specialist at a veterans hospital and medical school in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Using easy-to-understand language to explain medical concepts and loosening his necktie to make a point, Tobin told the jury that Floyd\u2019s breathing was severely constricted while Chauvin and two other officers\u00a0held the 46-year-old Black man down\u00a0on his stomach last May with his hands cuffed behind him and his face jammed against the ground.<\/p>\n

The lack of oxygen resulted in brain damage and caused his heart to stop, the witness said.<\/p>\n

Tobin, analysing a graphic presentation of the three officers restraining Floyd for what prosecutors say was almost nine and a half minutes, testified that Chauvin\u2019s knee was \u201cvirtually on the neck\u201d for more than 90 percent of the time.<\/p>\n

He cited several other factors that he said made it\u00a0difficult for Floyd to breathe; officers lifting up on the suspect\u2019s handcuffs, the hard surface of the street, his prone position, his turned head and a knee on his back.<\/p>\n

Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd\u2019s neck for three minutes, two seconds after Floyd had \u201creached the point where there was not one ounce of oxygen left in the body\u201d, Tobin said.<\/p>\n

As prosecutors repeatedly played a video clip of Floyd on the ground, Tobin pinpointed what he saw as a change in the man\u2019s face that told him Floyd was dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning, you can see he\u2019s conscious, you can see slight flickering, and then it disappears,\u201d the witness said. He explained, \u201cThat\u2019s the moment the life goes out of his body.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bystander video of Floyd crying that he could not breathe as onlookers yelled at Chauvin to get off him sparked protests and scattered violence around the US.<\/p>\n

Defence lawyer Eric Nelson has argued that the now-fired white officer did what he was trained to do and that Floyd\u2019s death was caused by illegal drugs and underlying medical problems that included high blood pressure and heart disease. An autopsy found fentanyl and methamphetamine in Floyd\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

But Tobin said he analysed Floyd\u2019s respiration as seen on body-camera video and explained that while fentanyl typically cuts the rate of respiration by 40 percent, Floyd\u2019s breathing was \u201cright around normal\u201d just before he lost consciousness. Similarly, he said people with severe heart disease have very high respiratory rates.<\/p>\n

Tobin also said the high blood level of carbon dioxide measured in the hospital emergency room can be explained by the fact that Floyd was not breathing for nearly 10 minutes before paramedics began artificial respiration, as opposed to his breathing being suppressed by fentanyl.<\/p>\n

The doctor explained that just because Floyd was talking and shown moving on video, it did not mean he was breathing adequately. He said a person can continue to speak until the airway narrows to 15 percent, after which \u201cyou are in deep trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officers can be heard on video telling Floyd that if he can talk, he can breathe.
\nTobin also reviewed video that showed Floyd\u2019s leg moving upward at one point, and he explained that it was involuntary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

At one point, he loosened his tie and placed his hands on his own neck and the back of his head to demonstrate how the airway works, inviting the jurors to examine their own necks. Most of them did so, though the judge later told them they did not have to.<\/p>\n

The expert calculated that at times when Chauvin was in a near-vertical position, with his toes off the ground, half of Chauvin\u2019s body weight \u2013 41.5kg (91.5 pounds) \u2013 was directly on Floyd\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n

He said it appeared that Floyd was getting enough oxygen to keep his brain alive for about the first five minutes because he was still speaking. Tobin said that where Chauvin had his knee after the five-minute mark was not that important, because at that point Floyd had already experienced brain damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
