Someone Left A Printout Of George Floyd’s Toxicology Report On A Black History Display At Duke University, Insinuating That He Deserved To Die

Someone left a flier insinuating that George Floyd’s death was caused by his drug use on a Black History Month display at Duke University. Now that act has caused a school-wide investigation into what officials call an “act of bias.”

According to CNN, the flier was an apparent printout of George Floyd’s toxicology report left on a display for Black History Month that was meant to honor black victims of police violence.

Duke University officials confirmed the report included handwritten remarks in a pink pen that read, “Mix of drugs presents in difficulty breathing! Overdose? Good Man? Use of fake currency is a felony!”

Matt Mohn, a first-year student at Duke, told CNN he found the flier on around noon on Saturday around noon and immediately reported it to his resident advisor. The fliers were then removed 30 minutes later. Mohn called the act “audacious.”

“All of a sudden, someone comes up and is essentially sticking a thumb in the face of every Black person, saying his life didn’t matter, that he wasn’t a good person, because of one $20 bill,” Mohn explained. “I was just really really surprised by it, that someone would put that much effort into trying to strip someone of their humanity for no reason,” he continued.
