George Floyd had coronavirus a month before he was killed, his autopsy shows. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office has released the full autopsy results following the 46-year-old's death with permission from his family.
He died on May 25 while in police custody, with video then emerging showing a Minneapolis officer kneeling on his neck for eight minutes as he pleaded for his life.
The 20-page report also detailed that Mr Floyd had tested positive for Covid-19 in April, but did not suggest it was a factor in his death.
The report does, however, cite that a positive diagnosis for the potentially deadly disease "can persist for weeks after the onset and resolution".
