Nothing new. We knew that when the autopsy was released. The autopsy also indicates that Floyd was alive when he got to the hospital. The report states that an antemortem blood sample was drawn at 9 pm.
Antemortem specimens
Not infrequently, victims of an accident or overdose may be admitted to hospital, albeit sometimes surviving only briefly, before they die. When that occurs, it is common for blood and sometimes urine and gastric contents to be collected as part of the medical evaluation and treatment. There are at least two reasons why collection and analysis of antemortem specimens can be invaluable, even if death occurs fairly soon after admission to hospital. Firstly, analysis of hospital admission specimens gives a good idea of the circulating blood concentration at the time of admission to the hospital.
Honestly, I thought he was dead on the ground when the cops got off him, but that autopsy report says he died at 9:25 pm. Floyd was no longer at the scene of the crime at 9:25 pm. If this is true, how is there even a case here? Either he was strangled to death on the ground or he died in the hospital of a drug overdose, and it seems like the official documentation is telling us it was the latter.

Ok, here's some more information

He was dead on the ground. Paramedics were trying to save him but ultimately gave up at 9:25 pm when he was declared dead.
Then I believe the report would have said DOA at the hospital right ?
As you said, paramedics tried to save him, not doctors. Was he in the ambulance at 9:25, or hospital ?
