A medical examiner has ruled that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was injured during the Jan. 6 insurrection, suffered a stroke and died of natural causes. The ruling likely will inhibit prosecutors from bringing homicide charges in the case.

FILE - In this Feb. 3, 2021, file photo, a U.S. Capitol Police officer holds a program during a ceremony memorializing U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, as an urn with his cremated remains lies in honor on a black-draped table at the center of the Capitol Rotunda in Washington. The D.C. medical examiner’s office says Sicknick, who was injured during the Jan. 6 insurrection, suffered a stroke and ruled the officer died from natural causes.

The D.C. medical examiner’s office ruled Monday that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was injured during the Jan. 6 insurrection, suffered a stroke and died from natural causes. Sicknick was among five people who died after the riot. Two men have been charged with assaulting Sicknick in the melee.

Investigators initially believed he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, based on statements collected early in the investigation, according to two people familiar with the case. And they later thought perhaps Sicknick may have ingested a chemical substance — possibly bear spray — that may have contributed to his death.But the determination of a natural cause of death means the medical examiner found that a medical condition alone caused his death — it was not brought on by an injury.

He did not die in his bed.

STOP BEEN AFRAID, STOP THE PROCRASTINATION, MAKE A BOLD AND A SMART MOVE TODAY.. BTC PRICE IS GROWING ON DAILY BASIS SO I URGE YOU TO BUY NOW AND INVEST SO YOU CAN WATCH IT RISE LATER AND BE AMONG THE HAPPY FEW ..DO NOT ALLOW FEAR.

Who’s paying off the medical examiner? I don’t believe this for a second!!😡

If he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, then drove back to his office, his co worker would have seen this deadly injury I’m sure. Where are the photos?

That cop not killed by human hands. These two: one shot to death. Where was your outrage? Hypocrites

This country is screwed.

He didn’t just “die” of natural causes. The insurrection caused him to have the strokes and die.

Natural causes lead to by exterior stresses. Strokes are often the result of exterior stresses such as escalating hypertension caused by fear and anxiety.

This is such BS.

Being beaten by traitors with a fire extinguisher is completely natural. The famous Black Plague is the reason fire extinguishers are no longer black, but red.

Liberals be like 'trust the medical experts' until they meet an autopsy they don't like.

Come on.

Yeah, being assaulted couldn’t possibly lead to a stroke or heart attack.

You want to highlight that he was 42 years old? That maybe this medical examiner should be investigated? Maybe do a little journalism?

Lol. 'The ruling likely will inhibit prosecutors from bringing homicide charges in the case' Yeah, no shit.

fox4beaumont HAHAHAHA.... the truth is revealed. Bet it was tough eating crow. It's old news now; info's been out for quite some time.

Are they really trying to argue that blunt trauma to his head didn’t do anything? Because that sounds fucking stupid

So the stroke had nothing to do with the massive beating he received? Come on..

So... if the Capitol had not been attacked, officer Sicknick would still have died? I don’t believe that.

I don't recall well, but didn't he suffer head injuries during this attack? One cause of stroke after trauma is a tear in the head or neck blood vessels that lead to the brain, which can be a source of blood clots that cause a stroke. Hmicide charges could still be brought.

Absurd!

So getting repeatedly hit on the head w a fire extinguisher had no factor? Complete BS

Bullshit

What a travesty. Stress causes strokes. My God wake up. So terribly wrong for his family.

😆😆😆wait?!.is this the same medical examiner the 'former guy' had?!.

3 Police officers died in the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection and over 140 Officers were injured, one stabbed with a fence post, another lost his eye. Please do not down play what we all witnessed.

Bullshit. The stroke is a result of injuries sustained in the insurrection.

Please correct NOW: He wasn't injured. That's a LIE.

This is where the spirit of the law is being ignored for the words of the law. Ridiculous.

The whitest of privilege.

I wonder if this affects funds his family receives for dying in the line of duty. I hope they sue.

hard to believe getting bear sprayed at close quarters, beaten and hit in the head with a fire extinguisher didn't play a role in causing the stroke that killed Office Sicknick.

That’s just ridiculous. The stroke was induced by torture.

...and people wonder why so few have faith in institutions. natural mondayreport

A 42-year-old police officer dies of 'natural causes' the day he was assaulted with nerve agents.

Stroke brought on by injuries is a natural causes conclusion? 🤔

So he would've had a stroke while walking peacefully through the mall that day? I called BS

Our media is shameful.

And Floyd had problems with his heart to I’m sure bullshit

❓Would he have died of a stroke had it not been for Jan6 insurrection? In other words, did stress of being attacked bring on the stroke?

If not for the acts of the GOPSeditiousTraitors officer Sicknick would not have suffered a stroke and died! Shame on this medical examiner. OfficerBrianSicknick Jan6 GOPComplicitTraitors

Who killed Ashli Babbitt?

Interesting timing, this coming out during closing arguments. Coincidence?

That sound you hear is narratives crumbling
