He would have been had he not had a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system.

During Derek Chauvin's 2021 trial, medical experts testified that
while George Floyd had fentanyl in his system, the amount was not lethal and did not cause his death.
Both the official Hennepin County autopsy and an independent autopsy ruled Floyd's death a homicide caused by police restraint, not a drug overdose.
Key facts from the investigation and trial:
Fentanyl was present, but not the cause of death. The autopsy found 11 nanograms per milliliter of fentanyl in Floyd's blood. While this level can be fatal in some individuals, particularly those without tolerance, forensic toxicologists explained that Floyd's history of opioid use meant he had developed a higher tolerance.
Behavior was inconsistent with overdose. An expert witness for the prosecution noted that people dying from a fentanyl overdose typically become sleepy and stop breathing peacefully. Video footage, however, showed Floyd was conscious and pleading for air, which is inconsistent with an overdose.
Police restraint was the primary cause. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's report concluded Floyd died from "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression".
The overdose narrative was rejected by courts. The defense's argument that Floyd died from an overdose was rejected by the jury. Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter, and his conviction was upheld on appeal, affirming that the police restraint caused Floyd's death.
Therefore, while fentanyl was found in his system, the amount was not lethal in Floyd's case, and it was not the cause of his death.

Ah yes, "experts." He had a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system and already had a heart condition, he was acting erratic and screaming I can't breathe before he was on the ground. What Chauvin did may have contributed, but if he weren't high out of his mind that standard police hold would not have killed him.
