On the sixth anniversary of George Floyd's death on May 25, 2020, posts shared booking photos showing Floyd at 6 feet 4 inches and 223 pounds next to Chauvin at 5 feet 7 inches and 140 pounds, with many claiming drugs like fentanyl—not restraint—proved fatal, citing autopsy toxicology levels. The official autopsy by Dr. Andrew Baker ruled the cause cardiopulmonary arrest from law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression, listing it as homicide with heart disease and drugs as contributing factors; an independent autopsy found asphyxiation. Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter, serving concurrent federal and state sentences, while opinions online remain deeply divided and Minneapolis marked the day with vigils calling for police reform.
