The medical examiner who ruled George Floyd's death a homicide caused by law enforcement restraint last year told a courtroom on Friday that Floyd's health history and intoxication contributed to the death.

Floyd, 46, suffered from "very severe underlying heart disease" that was a factor in the death, as was the toxicology findings that he had ingested fentanyl and methamphetamines, Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County medical examiner, told the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
