As I understand it, 10ng/ml is the threshold where they expect 50% of cases to end in fatality. It is by no means a guarantee that he will die. Floyd also had a high level of a metabolized byproduct of the drug in his system, meaning he clearly still had a tolerance for it. I had an aunt survive a blood alcohol level of 0.89% - easily double the threshold people start dying of alcohol poisoning.

How does one even reach this level? Even ordinary alcoholics pass out or throw up long before getting that drunk...

10/10.

I'm not a forensic toxicologist so i don't know the specifics of fentanyl poisoning. The state v. Chauvin testimonies included that of a forensic toxiciologist who testified about the fentanyl-norfentanyl ratio that isn't consistent with overdose post-mortem measurements, and clinically his death isn't consistent with fentanyl poisoning, as he showed signs of distress. A person drugged with opioids also doesn't complain of a difficulty in breathing, because opioids are actually given to such patients to alleviate shortness-of-breath symptoms. They may have played a role in facilitating his death by asphyxiation by overall lowering his alertness, but most likely they weren't enough on their own. The officer was holding his knee for 2 minutes (based on the reports) after Floyd became unresponsive. The knee-hold was not compliant with officer training guidelines either, it was way too long. This isn't my opinion, thisis mostly based on the expert testimonies and scrutinizing them requires training in the field which i assume you do not have. Specific nuances are hard to grasp without formal education.

In any case, a person going into respiratory arrest under supervision because of an opioid OD can still be helped with emergency care and a specific antidote for opioids, using common sense they should have a lower risk of death than those who OD when no one sees.

Is there a source for your numbers? And is there a source for him not using fentanyl? People with an ongoing addiction can be expected to use the drug while not admitting to it. A person with a history of uncontrolled alcohol abuse has different guidelines in some treatments because of the high probability of relapse.

Which artery/ies and what does arterial blockage have to do with fentanyl/amphetamine? P.s. i never post in GC
