Wow... you're even nuttier than I thought! Why isn't this BIG NEWS, Shuny. The ONLY Capitol Police Officer whose death is tied to the Captiol riots is Sicknick, and the Coroner ruled he died of natural causes.
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes after riot, medical examiner says
An autopsy revealed that Sicknick, who died hours after the Capitol riot, suffered two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by a blood clot.
Washington's chief medical examiner has determined that U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes the day after the riot on Jan. 6 after he suffered two strokes.
The autopsy revealed that Sicknick, 42, said the strokes at the base of the brain stem were caused by a blood clot, Chief Medical Examiner Francisco Diaz said.
The formal finding was that the death was caused by "acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis" and that the manner of death was "natural."
Diaz told The Washington Post that the autopsy found no evidence that Sicknick experienced an allergic reaction to chemical irritants. He also said there was no evidence of either external or internal injuries.
"All that transpired played a role in his condition," Diaz told the newspaper.
Capitol Police have said that Sicknick returned to his office after the riot and collapsed and that he died at a hospital about eight hours later.
