Around two weeks after his death in police custody sparked a worldwide campaign against racism, the funeral of George Floyd, was held on Tuesday (local time). A horse-drawn carriage brought George Floyd's body to a Houston area cemetery where he was laid to rest in a private ceremony, reported Sputnik. Hundreds of people came to say a final goodbye to Floyd at the Fountain of Praise Church, reported Xinhua. Soon after Floyd's death in police custody on May 25, the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul erupted in massive protests which later on spread all across the country. The official post mortem report of Floyd revealed that the cause of death was due to 'neck compression'.
