More details have emerged regarding the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, whose passing was initially attributed to injuries sustained on-duty while responding to rioters during the deadly Capitol insurrection.
the autopsy found that Sicknick suffered two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by a clot in an artery that supplies blood to that area of the body.
and getting repeated whacked in the head with a fire extinguisher couldn’t possibly aggravate an existing condition.
So, in someone of his age and physical health, what would trigger not one, but two strokes? What possible medical indications were there that he would be prone to something like this? Right.
Sicknick suffered two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by a clot in an artery that supplies blood to that area of the body.
According to D.C.’s chief medical examiner, Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters during the breaching of the Capitol.
Francisco J. Diaz, the medical examiner, told the Washington Postthat the autopsy found no evidence of Sicknick suffering an allergic reaction to chemical irritants. Diaz said that particular reaction would have caused Sicknick’s throat to quickly seize. Additionally, no evidence was found of Sicknick sustaining internal or external injuries, the Post reported.
Diaz acknowledged that Sicknick was among the officers who engaged with the pro-Trump mob that stormed that Capitol, and told the Post that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”
They did, in the initial chaos, but that was later determined to not be the case. Remember, he went back to the office that day, unlikely if he had a possible TBI that he wouldn’t be getting checked out and going to the hospital.
Hate that these fuckers may walk, but medical evidence is medical evidence.

Very inappropriate comment.
Natural causes is far from “deadly force” and the remark trivializes how many non-white unarmed citizens are killed, brutalized & subjugated by police for.
