That brings the total fatalities from the day’s events to five, including 35-year old Ashli Babbitt, whom Capitol Police shot on Wednesday as she tried to climb through a window in the Capitol. The number could rise as more information emerges. Mr. Greeson suffered a heart attack “in the midst of the excitement,” his family said in a statement sent by text message. They said he was “an advocate of President Trump” and had attended the event to show his support but not to participate in violence. “He was excited to be there to experience this event,” the statement said.

In late November, Mr. Greeson posted a photo of himself with two guns and the caption, “I wish these motherf--kers would come to my hood!”Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Contee III confirmed the three who died from apparent medical emergencies were on the grounds of the Capitol at the time but said it wasn’t clear whether they were participating in Wednesday’s events.
