LIVE UPDATES: Doctor says lack of oxygen killed George Floyd as Derek Chauvin murder trial continues
Published April 09, 2021
George Floyd died of a lack of oxygen from being pinned to the pavement with a knee on his neck, not drug use and health problems, a medical expert testified during former Minneapolis police officer Dereak Chauvin's murder trial Thursday.
"A healthy person subjected to what Mr. Floyd was subjected to would have died," said prosecution witness Dr. Martin Tobin, a lung and critical care specialist at the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital and Loyola University’s medical school in Illinois.
Dr. Bill Smock, a Louisville physician in forensic medicine, also testified that Floyd had died from "positional asphyxia."
Fox News will present coverage surrounding the historic trial throughout the week. In addition to programming on the Fox News Channel, Fox News Digital will provide livestreams of the proceeding at FoxNews.com.
