Poasties still arguing Floyd died of an overdose 2+ years later, SMH
💀
@dave
Are you one of those people that think he somehow gained immunity to fentanyl?
He had 10ng/ml of fentanyl detected in his autopsy. You can OD at those levels, but fentanyl is a fast-acting drug.
If someone dies of an OD, you will find very little norfentanyl in their system, because norfent is a metabolite of fentanyl. When you find a decent amount of norfentanyl, that means they took it a while ago, and overdose isn't what killed them.
George Floyd had a significant amount of norfent in his system. In addition to the marginal amount of fentanyl in his system, and the fact that he was a long-term drug addict, it indicates that his fentanyl levels aren't what killed him.

@dave @alyx I had to take a double take reading this because it is so stupid.. you'll have a "low level" of fentanyl if you overdose? So the level of fentanyl in your blood that would be required to overdose/kill you, somehow magically wouldnt be detected, but if you did have those high levels it wouldnt? How exactly do you think drugs travel through your system in order to overdose you? Your blood level is EXACTLY how much is currently affecting you, there is no such thing as this ghost effect where a non existent drug in your bloodstream is overdosing you before its detected.. What you see in ng/mL is exactly what the person is experiencing and floyd's levels were at 3x the levels that some ppl OD on. You also seem to forget he was spitting out fentanyl in the backseat of the cop car which they showed in his case. He also tried this same stunt.. OD so you dont goto jail in a previous arrest and this time his dumbass ate too much and he died from it.

You need a triple take it seems. He talked about a low level of norfentanyl, a metabolite of fentanyl. That's something that is created in your body, as it tries to process fentanyl. But if fentanyl OD kills you quickly, there won't be much time for norfentanyl to develop. Hence a death from fentanyl overdose would leave a low amount of norfentanyl in your body.
Of course, the argument easily falls like this: he took fentanyl much earlier in the day, the norfentanyl had time to accumulate in his body, the police catch him, he ingests whatever drugs he still had on him so the cops don't find it, this sends his body into OD.
@alyx @dave what he said is complete bullshit. Fentanyl is metabolized into norfentanyl as it's affecting you, so if you take a bunch of fentanyl you will have high levels of it as its slowly converted to norfentanyl by your body. Floyd's levels match up exactly with levels seen in dead ppl who OD'ed on it. First pic is from a study of 249 fentanyl ODs, second is from floyd's hennepin autopsy
