Hennepin County issued the following announcement on June 5.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner, with the consent and cooperation of Mr. George Floyd’s family and their legal representatives, is releasing the autopsy report for Mr. Floyd. This is being done in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 13.83, Subd. 7, which requires a court order to release an autopsy report to the public.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner cannot expound upon, or respond to any questions about, the contents of the autopsy report. To do so at this time would potentially taint any future criminal or civil litigation related to Mr. Floyd’s death.
Please direct any media inquiries to Carolyn Marinan, Hennepin County Communications, at carolyn.marinan@hennepin.us.
Under Minnesota state law, the Medical Examiner is a neutral and independent office and is separate and distinct from any prosecutorial authority or law enforcement agency.
