This request does not mean he ever worked as informant. It's a request for any such records if they exist. If his heart and breathing stopped on the scene and then he was artificially resuscitated, to keep him technically "alive" until 9:25PM, that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't die on the scene. It's not unlikely that he was brain dead, and they just kept his heart and breathing going artificially until tests for brain death could be completed and confirmed.

Actually it does mean he did not die at the scene. That is the exact time of death pronounced by an attending doctor, in accordance with state law.

The coroner is required by certification guidelines to list the exact time of death, if an exact time of death cannot be determined they are required to put approximately prior to the time, as these are legal documents that may be used in court as factual evidence. This is according to the official CDC guidelines as well for all coroners in the US.

If he was in a vegetative state, or on life support that would also be included in the coroners report as well as the physician report post mortem.

Legally, he did not die at the scene. However, it's quite possible that he biologically died at the scene.

That would be stated in the coronor report and the post mortem physicians report, as I already explained.

To contradict the official narrative that the police murdered him is verboten.

At a glimpse I smell this:

  1. Floyd got caught for something.
  2. Desperately wanted to get off so spilt beans.
  3. Got leniency.
  4. Then all this nonsense him being a martyr to criminals.
  5. But criminals hate a snitch often worse than a pig so this will put them straight.

Sure this is just a probe but I suspect it's based on something. At the same time then there's fishing. You can't know if there are fish in the pond until you cast. Then there's getting an unofficial tip then having to make it official so making it like the former and as though you just got lucky.

It's more likely that he wasn't officially declared dead until the medical examiner confirmed it.

That is also possible.
