The family of George Floyd, the 46-year-old Minneapolis man who died after he was arrested by police, reportedly plans to hire high-profile medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden, the former New York City medical examiner who performed the independent autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein and testified in the trial of O.J. Simpson.

According to the New York Daily News, Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Floyd’s family, suggested that the family’s decision to hire an independent medical examiner was influenced by distrust from “so many other cases where they have these people who work with the city come up with things that are such an illusion.”
