According to a Minnesota incident report, Floyd did not have a pulse while in the ambulance."Medics performed pulse checks several times, finding none, and delivered one shock by their monitor. [The patient's] condition did not change," the report said. Floyd was later declared dead at a hospital in Minnesota, police said.An FBI and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigation were launched and the four police officers involved were fired the next day (May 26)."Being Black in America should not be a death sentence...when you hear someone calling for help, you’re supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said on Tuesday, May 26.Two days after Floyd's death Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder.The charge was eventually elevated to second-degree murder after an autopsy commissioned for Floyd's family showed that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression.
