Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick suffered a pair of strokes and ended up dying of natural causes after helping to combat rioters outside Congress in January, but his death was not directly caused by the event, the DC medical examiner said Monday.
ME Francisco Diaz said in his report that there was no evidence Sicknick suffered a reaction to bear spray.
There were no signs of external or internal injuries on the cop, Diaz said.
Sicknick, a New Jersey native, had a pair of strokes at the base of his brain stem and died, the ME said.
Specifically, the officer succumbed to “acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis,’’ the report said.
When the term “natural causes’’ is used in cases such as this, that means “disease alone causes death,’’ the ME explained in his report.
