What the autopsy report said was, "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression," a statement I can hardly make sense of when combined with the claim of "homicide", which is normally interpreted as a death that another person caused (legally or illegally).

I don't think it's inconsistent. Today's witness said that Floyd died of lack of oxygen. He mentioned somewhere in his testimony that that can cause a heart attack. Regardless of which part of Floyd's body ended up failing, it would seem that another party could have caused it. If you are drowned, you suffocate, as in die of lack of oxygen, and it's a homicide.

The autopsy report called it a homicide. It's either justifiable or not justifiable.

I think most people die from their heart stopping so "cardiopulmonary arrest" doesn't mean much.

The medical examiner should be fired for writing this unintelligible gibberish.
