The officials of Ramsey County jail in St. Paul, MN, are keeping a watch on ex-police officer, Derek Chauvin who murdered late George Floyd by kneeling on his neck last Monday.

According to a medical examiner from Hennepin county started that the autopsy shows he didn’t die from strangulation but from being restrained and his underlying medical conditions.
He said, “the combined effect of Mr Floyd by restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to the death.”
