Cause Of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick’s Death Revealed

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes the day after he confronted rioters during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to the chief medical examiner in Washington, D.C.

The Washington Post reported that medical examiner Francisco Diaz “said the autopsy found no evidence the 42-year-old officer suffered an allergic reaction to chemical irritants, which Diaz said would have caused Sicknick’s throat to quickly seize. Diaz also said there was no evidence of internal or external injuries.”

The newspaper noted that “the ruling, released Monday, likely will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death.”

The publicly disclosed timeline of events shows that Sicknick was sprayed with a chemical substance outside the U.S. Capitol around 2:20 p.m. Jan. 6. After returning to his office around 10 p.m. that evening, the officer collapsed and was transported to a local hospital. . .

Following the release of the medical examiner’s report, the Capitol Police issued a statement saying the department accepts the findings “but this does not change the fact Officer Brian Sicknick died in the Line of Duty, courageously defending Congress and the Capitol,” NBC News reported.
