Maryland will review about 100 autopsies of people who died in police custody involving physical restraint because of concerns about the state’s former medical examiner’s testimony in the death of George Floyd, the state’s attorney general says.

. Four-hundred such experts signed a letter to Attorney General Brian Frosh asserting that Fowler’s testimony deviated from standard medical practice in assessing cause of death and classifying the manner of Floyd’s death as “undetermined” rather than “homicide.”

Dr. David Fowler, a retired forensic pathologist and former chief medical examiner for the state of Maryland testifies on April 14, 2021, in the trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis.

The team’s report details key factors and questions to be addressed by the audit. They include whether the cases were adequately investigated and whether medical examiner’s operations and investigative protocols were consistent with best practices. They also include what role restraint played in each death and whether the medical examiner’s determinations were correct.
