I'm saying that's a real possibility that is suggested by the county autopsy.
Thank you for the additional context on the drug levels. If you are right about this, then I am not sure how to explain what happened.
The neck restraint is described as "Compressing one or both sides of person’s neck with an arm or leg, without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway", consistent with the county's autopsy finding of "no injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngealstructures". See page 9 of http://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases....
