ER Doctor: George Floyd Cause of Death Was Likely ‘Oxygen Deficiency'

The emergency room doctor who pronounced George Floyd dead, Dr. Brandford Langenfeld, said Monday that “oxygen deficiency,” commonly referred to as asphyxia, was most likely the cause of death. This challenges the defense’s argument that Floyd’s death was caused by a heart attack related to drug use, as opposed to Derek Chauvin’s use of force.
