Fentanyl is a respiratory depressant. If cause of death is asphyxiation, it’s relevant in the scientific sense and not merely “his hands weren’t clean” demonization of the victim
It doesn’t justify it, but it is somewhat relevant, although I’d guess the 9 minutes of kneeling caused his death about a billion times more than the fentanyl

All opioids and opiates are respiratory depressants. So is alcohol btw. Fentanyl is an extremely powerful and efficient synthetic opioid however. It is also extremely habit forming like all opioids and opiates, meaning it will make users take increasingly dangerous risks to obtain it and continue using it. If the medical examiner reports *lethal levels* of such a compound, how do you arrive at the conclusion that the cause of his death was probably the kneeling? When somebody is genuinely choking, they can't speak. He did not actually die in the video, he simply went unconscious. He died later at the hospital. All of this is completely, entirely consistent with a fentanyl overdose brought on by a panicked bad decision.
And yes, this is essentially exactly how juice wrld died. Eating drugs so they won't be found.
