From the New York Times:
In the days and weeks after the riot, five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6 died.
The Capitol Police had previously said that Officer Sicknick died from injuries sustained “while physically engaging with protesters.” The
Washington medical examiner later ruled that he had died of natural causes: multiple strokes that occurred hours after Officer Sicknick’s confrontation with the mob. The medical examiner added, however, that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”
A
bipartisan Senate report, released in June, found that the seven deaths were connected to the Capitol attack. But the report was issued a month before two Metropolitan Police officers — Gunther Hashida and Kyle DeFreytag —
died by suicide in July.
Don't try to minimize the significance of the attack....
