Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick died of stroke, D.C. medical examiner says

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick suffered a stroke and died of natural causes, the medical examiner’s office in Washington, D.C., said Monday, weighing in on a question that has lingered since the officer died a day after he was assaulted during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The office concluded that Mr. Sicknick’s manner of death was natural, adding in an explanation: “If death is hastened by an injury, the manner of death is not considered natural.”
