Sure, the cause of death is that Floyd stopped breathing. I’m sure that kneeling on his neck had nothing to do with that. </sarcasm>
If you’re saying that the man’s death was caused by inability to breathe due to a compressed airway, you may or may not be correct.
His death could also have been caused by a cardiac arrhythmia. Some people have hypersensitivity of their carotid sinus pressure receptors and can develop passing out spells or malignant heart rhythms with stimulation of their carotid sinuses. Kneeling on the neck could have contributed to that. Or he may have had a heart attack or any number of other possibilities that can result in sudden death.
I suspect this autopsy is pointing in the direction of one of these other causes of death ... that is, some preexisting condition that contributed to his demise.

Hey! When someone can talk and say “I can’t breathe”...they can breathe.
You can take that to the bank as I have considerable expertise — I watch “Live PD”.
