Emergency doctor who treated George Floyd testifies he likely died of asphyxia
CNN
The doctor who treated George Floyd at the Hennepin County Medical Center last May testified Monday that he believed Floyd most likely died of asphyxia.
Dr. Bradford Langenfeld, an emergency medicine physician, said he treated Floyd for about 30 minutes on May 25, 2020, as hospital staff unsuccessfully tried to restart his heart. Langenfeld went through a checklist of possible causes of Floyd's cardiac arrest and said the "more likely possibility" was hypoxia, or lack of oxygen. "Doctor, is there another name for death by oxygen deficiency?" prosecuting attorney Jerry Blackwell asked.More Related News
