Floyd didn't die of an OD. OD deaths as was testified to by many medical experts so far do not happen suddenly. There is a process and it's longer than 6 minutes. In addition Floyd's level of Fentanyl in his system does not indicate an OD is impending. As was testified the median levels for DUI arrests that involve Fentanyl is greater than the level found in Floyd's body. Those are statistics. Not opinion.

And as was testified this does not equate to an OD. As a matter of fact ~3% of DUIs involving Fentanyl had over 50 ML of the drug in their system. They obviously didn't die given they were driving...
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/08/u...icologist.htmlThe toxicologist, Dr. Daniel Isenschmid, works at N.M.S. Labs in Pennsylvania and testified on the ninth day of the trial against Mr. Chauvin, who has been charged with murder in Mr. Floyd’s death. Of more than 2,300 blood samples from intoxicated drivers that N.M.S. Labs tested last year — all of which were in cases where the driver survived and tested positive for fentanyl — about a quarter of the people had fentanyl levels that were the same or higher than Mr. Floyd’s, Dr. Isenschmid said.

Dr. Isenschmid said that last year, in cases where N.M.S. Labs tested blood from a person who died and who had taken fentanyl, the average amount that scientists found was 16.8 nanograms per milliliter, about 50 percent higher than the amount found in Mr. Floyd’s blood. But Mr. Chauvin’s lawyer, Eric J. Nelson, noted that average was among people who died of any cause and had fentanyl in their system, not just overdoses. And, he pointed out, the median level of fentanyl among that group was slightly below Mr. Floyd’s.
Math...

I just said that but not all including those expert witnesses that were involved in the incident... Most expert witnesses get paid however; a couple refused payment in this case as was testified to. Like I said I'm sure the defense witnesses will pay for their own expert witnesses as well.

This fentanyl concentration, including its norfentanyl metabolite at its molecular weight, was 20.6 ng/mL That is over three times the lethal overdose, following earlier reports where the highest dose survived was 4.6 ng/mL.[2]
[2]https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/02/02...save-you-10822 “The patients who were dead on arrival had gone into cardiac arrest due to blood concentrations of fentanyl that were much higher than what is administered therapeutically. “ Patients who died in hospital had concentrations of 9.5 ng/mL to 13 ng/mL. See also note 13. In other studies of death from heroin and morphine, there were deaths from only 100 ng/ml of morphine and “all cases with a blood concentration of 200 ng/ml and more of free morphine displayed a fatal outcome.”
The first medical examiner said Floyd died of cardiac arrest.
