As some have taken the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death this weekend to honor him, it’s worth recalling how a mural dedicated to him was struck by lightning just a year after its creation.
It is, of course, tragic when anyone loses their way in life, becoming addicted to drugs and in trouble with the law, as was the case with Floyd.
Though Minneapolis police officer Derrick Chauvin was convicted of murder in 2021 in the death of Floyd, who was in his custody, an autopsy revealed that there was both fentanyl and methamphetamine in the man’s system, which may have been contributing factors to his death.
