Schaetzel suggested that Floyd died of high levels of catecholamines, a neurohormone associated with the flight-or-fight response, or Takotsubo myocarditis, a heart condition caused by intense emotional or physical experiences.

He’s probably antsy after getting stabbed a bunch of times while serving his sentence.

Experiences such as… being pinned to the ground by a murderous thug and choked with his knee on your neck for nine minutes?
This mother fucker.
Unfortunately I can no longer find the uncensored version of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clSpERAWR3o <-- If anyone else is familiar with this and knows of the uncensored hosted online somewhere, I’d love to know.
