Nope.
From your link
Medical examiners Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Allecia Wilson, who were hired by the family, said sustained pressure impeded blood flow to the brain and Chauvin's weight on Floyd's back impeded his ability to breathe.
Like i said, just because he had fentanyl in his system, does not equate to an overdose as you stated in your OP.
Now you're changing it to "the drugs combined with his panic caused the heart attack"
Which is also wrong.
What about the officer's knee on his neck for over 8 minutes?
You said
The drugs caused his heart to stop
Wrong. The officers kneeling on him did.
His cause of death was not, no matter how much you twist it and would like it to be, an overdose.

Don't care, Chauvin should of let off, after the guy was out and pissed himself, he needs to go down for that at least. 2nd degree murder is for sure, an overcharge.

Floyd was dead on his own
Wrong
He died due to that wanker's knee on his neck

Whats also very simple to understand is an overdose is quick, real quick.
Floyd did not die of an overdose its as plain as day, couldnt be any more clear

I guess that depends on your idea of quick. Takes about 30 min for the effects to start. And symptoms will rapidly develop from there causing hypoxia and death. The trick is keep them upright and keep them moving if possible. If they stop breating immediately start cpr their lungs will process oxygen just fine. Problem is the muscles stopped working. brathing can slow to 5 or 6 breaths a minute leading to brain damage.
Had our police officers paid attention to his pleas instead of stand on his neck he would have probably survived however. They did exactly opposite of what they needed to do you do not lay them down you do not let them go to sleep.

What is particularly egregious, is when Floyd was out, and pissed himself, Chauvin had a very clear duty to, at the very least, let off the neck. The people watching this were begging this goof.
I agree with you on the OD, if ingested via mouth, it would certainly take longer than if injected. I have no idea or opinion on him surviving, other than, he might of had at least a chance, had his medical distress been dealt with.

I agree it would take 30 minutes if swallowed, but we dont know he did swallow anything. He would only have swallowed it if he seen the cops coming. No addict swallows it purposefully for a hit.
Having said that, if he did swallow fentanyl in the shop then it was way too late for an OD to occur.
The OP has claimed he died an hour later in the hospital. If that is true how long is that after he swallowed it in the shop? 2 hours? 2 and a half hours maybe?
Surely all this points to a negative on the death by overdose claim?
