An example would be if you had a chronic condition that limited your ability to clot your blood and i stabbed you. Your condition might have accelerated your death or caused you to die when you would have normally been able to pull through but you died because i stabbed you not because you had the condition. If i had not stabbed you you would not have died.
At 8:25pm Floyd appeared unconscious. Bystanders requested that officers check for a pulse. Another officer did and found no pulse. One officer requested to move Floyd to his side. Chauvin denied his request. No officers provided medical attention. At 8:27 the ambulance arrived and paramedics began providing aid to Floyd. Chauvin continued to apply pressure with his knee to Floyd’s neck for 1 minute after paramedics arrived (3 minutes after he became unconscious and did not have a pulse).
