According to the Hennepin County Medical examiner, Floyd, 46, was asymptomatic, not an infectious carrier, but had the virus\u2019 genetic code or RNA in his system which made it possible to detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A previous autopsy report, however, revealed that the underlying cause of Floyd\u2019s death was a \u201ccardiopulmonary arrest\u201d with no mention of Coronavirus, as against an independent report carried out by the family citing \u201casphyxiation\u201d- suffocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
