Our rating: False
The claim misrepresents a deposition that describes a conversation between a prosecutor and the medical examiner who performed G****e F***d's autopsy. The medical examiner's autopsy report and his testimony at trial indicate Floyd died as a result of "cardiopulmonary arrest" complicated by "restraint and neck compression." The court documents in question never attribute Floyd's death to a drug overdose.

G****e F***d’s autopsy report is not new, does not say he died of an overdose
“So, the other significant conditions are things that played a role in the death, but didn’t directly cause the death,” Baker said. “So, for example, Mr. Floyd’s use of f******l did not cause the subdual or neck restraint; his heart disease did not cause the subdual or the neck restraint.”
Nothing new has emerged in the medical examiner’s findings.
But recently posts have been circulating on social media falsely claiming that new court documents show Floyd was not murdered and, instead, died of a drug overdose.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson also posted a video to his X account on Oct. 20 in which he says, “G****e F***d, according to the official autopsy, was not murdered. He died instead of what we used to call natural causes, which in his case would include decades of drug use, as well as the fatal concentration of f******l that was in his system on his final day.”
That’s not true. Floyd’s autopsy report hasn’t changed. It shows Floyd had f******l in his system when he died, but determined his death was caused by action taken by police that resulted in cardiac arrest. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed to us in a phone interview on Nov. 3 that no changes have been made.
Experts at Chauvin’s trial also said the evidence doesn’t support the idea that he had died of an overdose, as USA Today reported.
Court Deposition Doesn’t Say Floyd Died of Overdose
Misinformation pushers have been making claims similar to Carlson’s since a website highlighted statements that were recently made public in an unrelated court case.
The website, called Alpha News, describes itself as an outlet focusing on Minnesota news that “mainstream media all too often refuses to report and routinely disregards.” It doesn’t disclose any kind of political affiliation, but the site was founded by Alex Kharam, who is the executive director of a nonprofit that “works to promote conservative ideals and free market principles.” The nonprofit had an associated political action committee that spent more than $250,000 since the 2016 e******n cycle to support conservative politicians in Minnesota, according to data from the Federal E******n Commission.
